Afraid of death?....

if you say "no"- you're a liar. sorry, but i honestly believe that is true.

and many people have told me that they are not at all afraid of death. while i think it is true that some people aren't VERY afraid of death, that on a scale of 1 to 100.... everyone has some fear of death no matter what their believes on the after life are.

 

Dying ain't tough. It's living that's scary.

 

After working in hospital & nursing homes I had to learn how to "bag & tag" people and bring them to the morgue. Patients who just faced death are easier to deal with then the ones still here complaining about stuff.

It can be sad when a fave patient dies, and if they were in alot of pain then ya feel bad for them, and calling family members to have them rush in to say goodbye can be awkward sometimes,

But death....naaaawww, olhippie hit it right on the nose...it's life that's scary

 

Now that you mention it i realy dont find death scary or anything, because it would be a hell of alot easier then living. I dont want to sound sucidal or anything but death really isnt that terifying option really...

 

I find your assumption to be complete bullshit, for I am one who is not afraid of death. When I was younger, I used to fear the hell out of it. It scared me so much that I went through a lot of restless nights because I was scared I wouldn't wake up. Then, there was a point in my life where I wanted to die. I attempteed self murder upon many occassions, but to no avail (obviously). Then, my emotions evolved into not fearing nor wanting my demise, as long as went painlessly, for I was afraid of the pain death might bring. Now, I don't give a shit. I know I truly do not fear death in any way. Its a mere inevitability of life. If anything, people should be looking forward to it for its a sweet release from the mundanity on this plane of exixtence.

 

if you say "no"- you're a liar. sorry, but i honestly believe that is true



Alot of folks including myself have no issues with death, this life is just a rung on a big long ladder.

 

well fine. ive been proven wrong i suppose... though i still have my doubts that anyone cant fear it even JUST A LITTLE. just because it's so "different" and largely unknown and the unknown can be scary.

 

do you get a rush out of pushing yourself to the limit or through dangerous situations?


if someone held a gun to the back of your neck and told you you would die painlessly, end simply because they wanted to kill you you would be afraid, to say you wouldn't is foolish young bravado

 

we've been dead before. nothing new.

 

don't be scared!

 

I have found that there is nothing to fear of death. Does anyone know of a reason on why everyone has to fear it?? No one can stop it, therefore, why waste negative energy on the inevitable? It is pointless.

Also, if I had someone come up to me with a gun to my head, I would only fear what he would do to me. After I found out, I'd tell him to have at it.
Finally, to those who simply cannot believe that anyone is not afraid of death, I find it sad that you are so close-minded. Just because you can't see it in your mind means nothing to anyone but yourself. People do think differently than you do.

 

hmmm yeah, im very close minded. whatever. it's just what i believe. i dont think that people lie ON PURPOSE.... i just have a theory that people dont like to admit they have some fear in certain things that they largely dont fear.

but if you wanna start slinging shit, go ahead- make my day bro, cause this could be fun.

(then again, not really... i aient got the time or the patience)

 

and yeah, i know yer a chick. and yeah, i called you bro n i can do that if i wanna. whatcha gonna do bout it? *sticks out tongue*

 

So, you are calling me a liar about my own feelings? Excuse me, but do I know you? Have we met somewhere? I mean, you must know me to state such a bold statement! Well, truth is, you do not know me. What do I care about you and the "folks" you know? I dont.....therefore, you can keep your bullshit, for I dont have any use for it. I am not one of those "folks" and ,thankfully, AM NOT the likes of you.

 

all right little miss bitch.

you're right- i was making a bold statement by saying that- that you are defiantly right about. and i have no problems admitting i am wrong if i am indeed wrong.

i will take back the fact that i said people are lying if they say they dont fear death in the slightest.... i have a THEORY, which is ONLY a theory that for some reason some people dont like to admit the slightest fear. however, the way i worded this was probably a bit wrong.

and you can shove the personal attacks up your ass, thank you very much. quite frankly, im glad i am not the likes of you either.... because i typically dont say rude things like that in the first place.

 

wow. she was having a KC pms day. neato. thought i was the only one.

anyhoo, i can't say that i lose sleep over death. i DO lose sleep over people i love dying. but i don't think i'm terrified by deaht just because i pretty much don't see the point in thinking about it, aside from making the sorts of adjustments necessary to avoid a premature meeting of it.

 

Well, sturck a nerve, did I???? You will notice that in my post, I stated 'those' that, not specifying anyone. Hell, if the shoe fits.......You haven't been called 'close-minded' before now have you???
If you had not posted an assumption like you did, I wouldn't have gotten defensive and this would have been a nice, pretty post, but, when I felt I was called a liar without even posting a word, I deemed it necessary to trash the prettiness and replace it with good old fashioned bitchiness. The rest of your words remind me of me when I was the "mature" age of 10. Thanks for the nostalgia, but I have no need to go back to speaking (and spelling) like a petty child. Have your mommy give you some Ritalin and everything will be just fine.

 

Are you illiterate? Did you even bother to see who this post was to? Here is a hint: it wasn't you! You're pathetic attempt at responding humors me, yet I feel sorry for you. Life must be pretty compicated in your shoes, huh? Poor thing. I can only imagine how it must be going through life without any common sense, and even then I shudder at the thought. I refuse to explain any further. You wouldn't grasp much of anything from it anyway. Let people fight their own battles by responding to their posts(for you're definintely not helping). Common sense lesson 1: Mind your business.
(nice job with the compliment...very sweet....I love my bitchiness!)

 

i'm not afraid of death in the abstract. i havent been since i was a young teenager. one day, before i ever really knew how to meditate (and i'm still not great at it) and long before any drugs, i just all of a sudden felt like i was dead.

in a place with nothing to see, nothing to feel or think, nothing to do, no sense of having a body or a life or self....pure nothingness and void overwhelmed me......i "came to" a few minutes later, but it was incredible and the memory of the feeling and being and absolute desolation remains vivid in my mind.

assuming death does not lead to reincarnation (as i believe it does) or some physical heaven, i have always assumed the blissful void i experienced was a taste of what being dead, being nothing is like. its also my vision of heaven, if such a place exists. its not scary or frightening at all, its sweet release. theres no fear, no pain, no anything. just rest and harmony. at least, thats what i've always believed it to be like. even if its not like that or we aren't reincarnated, i believe these are by far almost definitely happens, and that belief keeps me indifferant to the IDEA of dying.

however like any normal human i love the excitement and struggles involved with living, and i seek to preserve this state for a long while if possible. i'm "afraid" of things that may come close to bringing premature death, as a natural animalistic reaction of self-preservation. no matter how accepting i am of the fact that in a handful of decades i will die and that death isn't a bad thing at all, if a car almost hits me or a gun gets pulled on me, yeah, my heart rate is going to dance a little and i'm going to try not to die

i guess you could say i'm scared of dying, not scared of death

 

all this brings about a good question. should we really love our bitchiness? i know i love mine in the heat of the moment, but within a few hours i look back at it and go "what a fucking lame asshole i was, over reacting like that!" thereby killing my joy in my bitchiness. i've done this many times. i think i'm more afraid of my bitchy attitude than i am of death, to be honest. maybe i believe in karma.
