Are you afraid of dying?

Of course everyone here saying no still feels young and perfectly healthy. Or if you are given plenty of time to prepare for it, you may certainly be less afraid when the time does come. But if death suddenly comes looking at you square in the face unexpectedly, you may be surprised by how "not afraid" you claimed to be . .

LOL I feel the same sometimes.

I don't think most people really are.

It's more the trying to comprehend being dead for an infinite amount of time (like literally a centillion amount years and beyond) that fucks with peoples heads.

Best not to dwell on those thoughts too much.

Considering it's from an actual episode, one would probably consider that somewhat poor form.

Its completely out of my control (to an extent)
So no
Why be scared of the inevitable?

Might of been when I was younger.. Not now though. I've come to the realization that life isn't that precious to be worried over such things. Although I really detest the fact that one day I will become a senile, frail, wrinkly old man. Old age is more terrifying than death. If only we could retain our youth and minds until the day we die.

It'd be arrogant of me to say how others feel towards the prospect of death, but I agree, with a little personal anecdote. At 20, a softball sized tumor was found in my chest. Long story short, it scared the ever living shit out of me. Prior to it, the concept of death never bothered me and I could easily claim to not be fearful, because it was always just that: a concept I was cognizant that the day would come, but it wasn't a reality until it became a real possibility backed by professionals telling me to my face there were no assurances. When it truly sunk in that I might be gone in a matter of months, well......the shit hit the fan and blossomed into terror.

I think it's very, very easy to say, "I'm not afraid of death" until you are actually confronted with the possibility.

You really have to ask? Also, MLP is not as good as it used to be.

I would like to die before I get soooo old that I cant take a dump without assistance.

@hyksiu: well not really, although i can see why you would think so

see the thing is, i can't be afraid of death, because i have no experience of death, i don't even have a fixed abstract idea of what death is

so what's left for me to afraid of, would be the loss of life, since that's all there's left to relate to

now, you could call the abovementioned a 'fear of death', but i won't, since death is an unknowable to me

No, I'm at peace with the reality that I'm going to die at some point. Worrying and fretting about it is a waste of time and energy.

This is the best advice, I mean, you only live once, so might as well do as much as you can before you bite the dust.

Another one and then another one....

Having faced life and death situations and seen a lot of people faced the risk of death, I would say this: most people who say they are not afraid to die don't really think they will die. They change their mind very quickly when they realized their own mortality.

Yeah... but more like afraid of getting killed by something.

Before I get to complete my goals, yes. Otherwise, no. We all die at some point and that's the way it goes.
