Are you afraid of death?

But you were quoting Nesta, who essentially believes that there may be life beyond death. I don't agree that such a fact should have any relevancy in how we live our lives because its a complete uncertainty, and most "proofs" are fallacies.

 

Ah. But nesta didn't say anything about life beyond death. He said "more to existence than corporeal life" - which could be thought to mean life after death, but I don't think that's a good interpretation of the statement.

I don't think any concept of existence beyond death is relevant to this life. It's fun to speculate, but what is important is acceptance and awareness of the fact that life will end, because that very fact is what makes it so precious in the first place, and truly accepting that is ultimate freedom.

 

HELL no, I'm not afraid of death. I don't want to die, but I'm interested in seeing what comes next. It excites me.

 

I don't fear it. It happens to everyone. It's what is going to happen to me at some point. I don't look forward to it, but I don't fear it. I hope I have a long and happy life in the meantime.

 

The thought of being in non existence, for the rest of eternity, to have no one remember you, like you never even existed, doesn't really scare me, but I don't like it.

 

I'm not really afradi of dying, but I am afraid to die in a horrible way. I don't want to get smeared or squashed...

There are a lot of fetishists out there who are hoping to go that way...

 

i want the most painful death possible

 

I'll tie you to a bed, then set an alarm clock...every hour I will come in and chop off a limb with a rusty axe and sprinkle salt on it...

 

this. ^^^

i'm pretty certain there is something else after death, but for now i think i'm here for a reason, and there are people in my life that need me right now. when it's my time, it will be all good, but i dont want it to be tomorrow or anything.

 

re bold:

and make sure to have lots of salt too

 

i really don't want to die, but i don't think i'm afraid of it. i want to live forever but i'm bound to fail that conquest.

 

not at all. I'm actually fascinated by death.. the unknown..

most of people I know are so afraid of death.. and I don't understand, really.

 

I understand the fear but death doesn't bother me myself.

 

I'm not afraid of death.

But I am kind of afraid of dying. I don't want to be in a lot of pain

 

Death: you mean the pizza delivery guy?? no, Im not afraid of him, why you ask?? ...

 

too quick. he'd probably bleed out after the untreated removal of the first limb. you have much to learn about torture, grasshopper...

 

yeah. i'm not ready to be nothing just yet.

 

Honestly, I don't think most people can imagine death so no matter what they say to me, I tend to ignore it. Unless they've been in a situation where they've actually come close to it and actually decided they don't care, then I will keep that view; that it's probably not true.

I, for one, am scared of death. I see no shame in it; I'm young, I'm not in love, I'm not in any immediate danger. I see no reason to welcome death. I mean, sure, I believe in reincarnation but when am I going to get it this good again? And then there's the possibility that I'm in fact wrong and there is no such thing as reincarnation. I mean, what if the Christian view is right? I'm going to have to party down in hell forever..

And I don't like parties...

 

pshh christians are wrong they are just organised religion that got more and more people to join their cult. The only religion that i have any respect for is buddhism.

 

I am not afraid of death, but I definitely am not ready to die.
