I'm not worried. Death is inevitable, no sense in being frightened about it.
If you live your life in fear of death ... You're already dead inside. Enjoy life as it comes and don't wish it away with fears.
I am not scared of death, because I believe there is something better on the other side. I do have some apprehension on the act of dying. I hope I am fortunate enough to go like my grandfather. He laid down to take a nap and never woke up.
I'm not in the least bit worried about death! I saw so much death in my time that it doesn't bother me at all. Rarely even think about it. Nothing for you to worry about !
Im just grateful that flies live forever. I have nothing to fear when im buzzing in your ear.
Im with everyone els that its Inevitable.. Your real fears are right here in life. You can live in pain but you cant die in pain. Ruling that out: I am just as "scared" of a fate where I never reach the end. Isnt anyone els? Its just as scary as eternal nothing to me. But I never could think of a way to explain past this point.
I can accept death when it comes but Ill probably have to fight it. Its like our internal instinct think of all the stuff your body does on its own just to keep you alive! Pumping your blood, controlling your temperature ect.
Everybody wants to know what it all means! I don't know people 😁
Well you are living at the moment so best focus on that, death will take care of itself.
In answer to a request for "quotations to live by", one of our Ask members (MelloBlue had been a marine sergeant in Vietnam) wrote, "Death smiles on all men. Marines smile back."
Death gets us all in the finish but there's no reason to fear it unless you believe what the churches teach about Hell. (The Islamic Jahannam is even scarier.) Throw away the superstition and you have nothing to fear.
Of course, as you reach old age it gets closer, but still nothing to fear. The Grim Reaper is a pretty friendly guy. He rides his Harley down my street from time to time to keep an eye on me. He's even taken me for a ride a few times but, so far, has always brought me back. One day he won't, but that's OK.
Here's a selfie I took last time we went off together.
Life is that glorious act between eternities. I remember the eternity before my birth wasn't a problem, nor do I expect the eternity afterward to be.
Whether it's immortality or perpetual rest that awaits, I am ok with either.
If you're atheist life will always be confusing :-) ...But ayy ho there's still time !! :]
No I'm not scared of death and what's going to happen, but being so is normal at your age.
The way I look at it, death is the final act of our immortal soul---it ceases to share its immortal life with this body.
After that, our soul enters into an eternal existence in another mode of being where everything that we have encountered in this life that was good will somehow be present in that existence.
Of course, not everyone agrees with me, but I think it sounds pretty exciting.
There is NO death.
Only a transition.
we are here for a short while so go for it. Bungee jump parachute whatever to invigorate yourself
