First off do you fear death? And if not are you afraid of life, I mean are you afraid to truly live life? Take chances, stand for what you believe in, speak you mind.
I never really thought that death was a “bad thing” just another stage in life, And I once was terrified to live! I was insecure about what people would think of me if I did as I wished. But now I realize my opinion is just as good as anyone else’s.
How about all of you?
I am absolutely terrified of death. In fact, I'm so scared that I refuse to think about it in general. If I actually dwell on it, it starts to give me a panic attack.
I dont fear Dead nor Life....
its a circle of life....born , live and die...
If we accept this ...then life can be fun ...
I am more afraid of life. the "How much more crap do I have to take" part. I take risks everyday. For me it is survival.
I'm not wishing to be dead by any means, but if it happened tomorrow, I wouldn't put up a fuss.
People who fear death facinate me. what is it exactly that you fear? is it the pain of the final breath or the fact you're simply not around anymore? if it's the pain of death your afraid of, well not all deaths are painful, my sisters teacher went to sleep one night and just never woke up. no pain at all. and if you're afraid of not being around anymore, how can you be the judge of what happens after death? you've never been there. and if you have then you've just answered you're own question because you've been reincarnated to tell us all different. and if you're afraid of life, then what do you have to fear in death? if you're not living then you have nothing to fear from death because you're already dead.
i fear neather, but rather i fear artifical feelings. that is all.
Agreed Untot. It is the true cycle of things, a new beginning. I do not fear it, I look forward to the day when all of my lifes lessons are learnt and I begin anew.
i fear both life and death b=death becaude then i can't fuck mariyn Manson any more,and life becuse i wonder what the hell else that's bad is gunna happen in my life,it id really bad for me right now
ack!!! i meant to say..Zero..not Lex...damn that twilight! :P
I agree with Untot..its just a process. Its the ego that finds it hard to let go in death, i think.. but the soul is so willing to travel onwards in time.
I will take fear of life everysingle time. The conclusion isnt what scares me, when i go i will go. But the questions involving life that is freaky. I am going to spend half of my life working like an idot wasting my youth only to spend my old age wasteing away? hhhhhellls no...
I fear neither one of them....As many times as i have cut myself,i wasnt really trying to die...im not scared to but im scared to be alive,there for im both....I'm alive but im dead to the world...i care nothing of what people think of me...So too all those people out there that thought they had hurt me or think they are still hurting me...Do u feel like u wasted or are wasting ur time...Cause i must say u are...
Loads of Love,
love,
CAREBEAR xXoOxXoOxOx
I`m not afraid of death,it is something that has to come one day...About life, i think that Im not afraid of it nither,atleast not anymore..I know now that you have to live your shair of good and bad...it is just so.
I think that people arent afraid of life, or death it`s self, They are frighten of those few seconds of life before death!
Am I wright?
i fear life rather than death. theres nothing to worry about when your in the after life.
I fear NOT living. ie, Not trying to experience life. I would hate to think that I missed out on something that I, or my children, could learn from just because I was afraid of life or death. On an everyday adventure, I have no control over either, so why waste time being afraid? Just live life to the fullest, take one day as it comes, try to learn something, and try to give back.
to be dead honest i fear neither i fear dieing alone and lving alone but to die or to live i do not fear i have seen death i have walked his path and returned. i have beated him at his own game.
I feel that most people do not actually fear death....they fear dieing.....the two are actualy sepaprate beasts
dae i was hti wit ha car i had head truma im supposta bea couch potatto and im doing constuction its all about the heart i was in a comma for 4 days its all bout the spirit of the person i have unfinsied bussiness here i want a family i want to die with a lamborganie in my drive way yes a diablo
throughout my life i have feared nothing in life or in death for i am a journeying soul that looks for the truth of all things
I used to fear death, so much I never wanted to be associated with anything like blood or death. But now I dont fear anything bacause I believe that when you die you are free and you can start again and re-write the mistakes you made in life, I dont know how tho. Life hurts me more because of the narrow minded mortals in it, but I do not fear it.
in my opinion death, is our hapiness, the only way in which our souls can truly be free again. Death is the cure for the unecessary strife that we must endure in this plane you call life.
Thus i am not afraid of death, in retrograde i embrace the day of my demise, for albeit i enjoy living, death would set me free at last.
i fear death, not knowing, it almost makes me choke because i know i wont be able to breath. I think about it sometimes and i just get all depressed. Knowing that I'm living up to death is nothing I'm personnally happy about.
I am not afraid of life. Living is not a problem for me. Its that fact that I'm living to die. It's just depressing, plain and simple.
Why fear? Dying is dying and living is living you have to learn to accept it and thats that!
I fear death alone. I'm not so scared of it now as I've been so close, but I just hope I don't have to go it alone.
No, I don't fear death nor life...I speak my mind at any given time and I'm me every second of my life..I don't care what people think and I love to take chances..Death is just reliving but life is dying..don't fear neither of those...Life is worse out of the 2 because it actually hurts physiclly and mentally..Bepending on what you are in death and so on..So I fear neither and I don't plan on it anytime soon...
Why fear something that will one day come for us all.As for fearing life why life is what you make of it.
Some people cant chose the path of the life, so therefore i fear life. i dont fear deaht because what ever happens will i guess im just affriad to live life to its fullest.
I really can't choose between the two becaue the thought of death scares me on where I will be going, if I can feel it, If I can tell its coming,If I can tell my loved ones goodbye,,, just the thought of it scares the shit out of me... etc.
with Life it is scary also.. because you never know where you are going to end up and what problems you are going to face. Being lonely is a scary thought... that feeling of emptyness. Horrible. When you see one of those homless people walking down the street do you ever think to yourself could that be me in the next 10 years? Its horrifying where we could go wrong and how it could affect our lives.
I do not fear death. It is simply another step. It'll be interesting to see what comes after.
I fear many things is life, however. I admit I am a chicken. Alassiel, what you said kind of struck home, that if you choose not to live of course you've no fear of dying because you are already there.
You gave me much to think over.
Please do not take this wrong but the people that say they do not fear death should rethink that statement. It is easy to say I don't fear death unless you did it and came back.
When the time comes your self preservation kicks in and fear is automatic. I died once from drowning and fear every moment of it. I was a young boy at the time and was pulled from the water dead and then brought back. I know that it will happen one day and when that day comes again I will fear as the day I drowned. It’s our human nature.
I dont fear death right now. Im sat here feeling quite safe and happy, as death seems a long way away. But I think I will fear death one day, after all it is instinctive to protect yourself.
Life is a scary place sometimes. People judging you and intimidating you and trying to make life difficult, and then there is the fight within yourself as you said, to take risks and make the right choices.
From where I stand, life is a much scarier place, but I like it too much to quit.
I Fear Neither... What Happens Happens.. And Thnk God When It Does.. The Waiting Period Is Excrutiating >.
"To fear life is to drive your self to the grave.
To fear death is to deprive your self of the grave."
By: TwilightZero
if you fear death it comes quickly.. but if you welcome death as a friend it will carry you into infinity
Getting back to what I said earlier.. yea, well if I died I'd like to think that I have done all that I wish, seen all that I want, accomplished what I could and learned to pefect myself and reasoning. Saying all that..that is my ego talking, so if I didn't make those accomplishments..yes I would regret my death.
However, in my heart I know my Soul would welcome the passing as it strived for further perfection in my next lifetime.
DA, the automatic fear is for the process of dying, not death itself.
The process of dying, I am sure, will prove to be at the very least, uncomfortable.
But the end result, being death? It will be interesting to see what comes next, I do not fear that.
i don't fear death, its just another journy for me, plus if i was to die i would like to be out in the woods with my blood runing every where. and im not scared of life either.
i do not fear death. in the immortal words of captain hook "death is the only adventure i have left". which i concur with wholey.
The Beyond in anothjer story and topic and that I do not fear but wonder what it is all about.
I don't fear death, I'd gladly welcome it with open arms. But that's just me. Life's way to crappy for any of that. I don't fear life, I just don't like it. Don't want it to last any longer than it has to. Immortality would suck.
AP Quote of the day: "I'd kill myself if I was immortal." Curtosy of a wierd member of an anime forum I visit.
well i would have to say death as i was close to it at 12am on the 24 it's very scarey
What is that line in that Robbie song...
I'm not afaid of dying, I'm just ready yet.
i'm terrified of death as well. i would hope to pass in a peaceful way and not entirely painful. i guess one of my biggest fears is that i'll die before my children are able to care for themselves. i'd hate to leave and have them be lost without me. i also hate the thought of dying without saying goodbye. there are many things i'd like to say to people before i go and i'd like everyone to have some type of closure before i go. i think i could go then without feeling like i'm leaving those that i love in more pain than necessary. sucky part is we don't always get to plan for our death.
I don't fear death at all, actually, I can't wait. Really we're all dead right now, it's when you die you're true life starts.
im afraid of neither as well i live life to the fulliest i can i do things that should have killed me a long time ago......death doesnt scare me i almost died......i should be dead i tried to kill myself i took so many pills theres no way i should be breathing right now but like darkknight said its about sprit only it wasnt my sprit that got me through it......it was the sprit of my friends who wouldnt give up on me they made me stay consious and when i passed out a friend of mine thought i was dead....he didnt kno what to do so he just sat there and held me hopeing that i would wake up calling my name......god gave me another chance and i think it was because of him and some other friends of mine that took care of me and made sure i was breathing at the end of the day........so it is the sprit wether its urs or pple who love u........death isnt scary neither is life they are both beautifully and sad in my eyes but i cant wait for both to fully capture me

I very much enjoy life and can honestly say I am not afraid of death..... but at the same time I will be honest enough to say I worry that it may come before I see my son grow old enough to take care of himself.
For me, if I die of old age and natural causes, that's ok. Having it happen painfully, or suddenly with no time to prepare, is NOT ok! I've never feared life, although at times it's been pretty dismal. Once a doctor expressed some concern about how unhappy I was, and I told him "I may be miserable, but I still like the idea of waking up in the morning".
I don't fear life, i am an open crazy person who says what i think and does what i want. and it's not the actual death that i think is scary it's that i will know longer be here to comfort my friends when there down or celebrate with them when there happy i wont be able to take care of my baby cousin when his mother goes into one of her crazy fits. i fear the pain of leaving behind the ones i love.
I have agree with sin, it's leaving behind the great things in life that i fear.
I don't fear death, it's a fact of life, everyone born must eventually die. I have in fact died 3 times already, I have medical records to prove it, I've had 9 surgeries, and in 3 of them, on my heart, I died on the table and was revived. At 3 months of age I wasn't even expected to live through the year, I was Christened right there at the hospital. My parents and Grandparents used to walk around the hospital halls forcing me to eat, because I wouldn't, it was due to a hole in my heart not closing that they thought I would die, but low and behold 33 years, 8 major surgries, and 1 emergancy C-Section later I am alive. I love life, I just don't love everything that I have had to face in life, and I am terrified of the future. My greatest fear is dying while my child is still young and facing some of the hardest years that we face growing up, her teens. As my mother died when i was 6, I never had the love or guidance of a mother. I do not want my own daughter to have to face something like that...
I don't like my life but I don't fear it. I also found out recently that I apparently don't fear death either. But then again, I'm looking forward to dying too much to be afraid of it.
I simply hope that I can finish all my work here before I move to another level, death they say. I am on my third life, you cannot get it all right and accomplish all you are meant to in one "lifetime" so death to me is a step into your next life...
i dont fear death.... and with life, i dont fear that i dont think..... i speak my mind and stand up for what i believe in.... i just dont like to associate with people all that much, unless
1. they have accepted for whom and what i am.
2. they can put up a good fight in an argument.
3. i have too ei: my family, peers and co-workers
I can honistly say I fear life after death ya know what if my belifes are wrong the what?
To fear death is to fear life. My only fear is that I pass before the aspirations of this life are met.
In response to Alassiel, fear of the unknown is instinctual. Postmortem is the greatest unknown one could possibly fathom.
i do not fear death, i actually think that death is just another adventure. i do fear a life of lonelyness though
to me, death is birth...i used to think negatively and it used to sadden me, but i've become to understand its beauty. although i'd love to live forever and be immortal to enjoy life's sinful little pleasures....i am also torn between the realization of reality...i will eventually fade away....die...decay....but i am comforted by the belief that i will once again rise, be born from the ashes that once consumed me....i dont fear death, i dont fear life....i live it, i crave it....i embrace it
thank you danzig.
i know people who refuse to go out because they fear something might happen to them. I fervently believe they are hindering themselves from living their life. These people are afraid of both life and death. By attempting to "avoid death" , they are "avoiding life" . Fearing death is not a way to live. Accepting the fate of life is vital in order to live.
I do not fear death nor am i affraid to live all that holds me back is my responceabilities
I do not fear death, I do not fear life though I have tried committing suicide 4 times in my life, but never succeeded, almost die once another time but not by my own hands, I do not fear death for it is just another journey, whether I walk through Pearly gates, or pay my toll to cross the River Styx, for crossing that river will not be my last ride, and walking through those pearly gates shall not be my last walk, for we all die sometime in our lives, whether we are immortal or not, we still eventually die, even Gods die
I do not fear life, for I was blessed with the life I have chosen, I was given the choice to live the life I chose, such as everybody else, so if you do not like the life you live, why'd you choose it, for we all have a choice
it's a good thing that you're still alive. You're so very insightful. We need others like you.
I am not so much scared of deaths as I am scared of the what If's that invovle death. The what if theres nothing on the other side. The what if of when I am going to go. What if its painful. What if its tragic. Death is something that happens but sometimes the "what if's" make it even scarier. I had read somewhere that if people actually knew how much danger they were in everytime they left thier house, they wouldnt want to leave. Now that to me is scary.
Ya good point I posted this before I allmosed died and I never thought I feard death all that much tell I allmost died. By the way it was cuz I cracked mt head open.
Thank Deity, and yes its true Anarchy some people do fear death after almost facing it, but I was not one of those people, but I commend you for fearing death, for I wish I did, for if I did, I would not have wanted to kill my self or tried, but thats in the past
:-) Thank you again Deity, and there are many like myself, you just have to look in the right places
thats the think I have had a few close calls Most of whitc wer intensional and I wasint afraid then but when it was an acident it kind of oppend my eyes ya know
Deity, thanks but I underestimate it every day, and yes I feel where your coming from Anarchy, for it was amazing when I realized I almost died and it wasn't because of myself, but It did not frighten me, why fear death, if you spend your life fearing death, then you have not lived, for you spent your whole life fearing death
yes if you fear death you cant live your life to the fullist but you cant live life to the fullist if you die either.
I dont fear life or death, its the void that terrifies me, just trying to imagine endless nothingness, trying to concieve not being actually makes me physicaly ill.
i think Deity is a very insightful person as well...
just dont rub her the wrong way or catch her on one of her bad days
trust me, i speak from experience
*runs and hides in closet*
i luv jOo best friend =)
I havn't a fear of life or death, I'm ready to take both sides on at any time. I do how ever reeely H8 clowns though. I H8ed them since child hood. lo ^_^
thank You darkness I shall heed your warning well and I agree she is very insightful, I have gathered that from the few times I have spoken to her and some of her comments on he forums
Like Woody Allen once said "It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.."
I fear death quite a bit for various reasons which I choose not to go into.
I also think that people that life for granted and don't take advantage of the time you are given as you could very well drop dead tomorrow.
aw, thanks vampirebrethren. :o]
darkness,
my temper isn't that bad. i just ignite easily :o/
y fear life and death life is life and death is another form of life so why fear either
