Are you afraid of dying and what does/does not come after?

Tackel · September 16, 2014, 04:46:31 PM

I am.

The idea of being doesn't really bother me, it's just the actual dying bit that worries me.

More Than Mortal · September 16, 2014, 04:49:16 PM

No, what difference would it ultimately make to me?

Nope. I don't think about it, and I'm young, so I don't care.

What I'm afraid of is dying early. Anything below 80 and I'm going to be rather disappointed (and dead of course).

Mr. Psychologist · September 16, 2014, 05:17:31 PM

Somewhat, I'd prefer not to die and I'll go to great lengths to avoid it (As should most people) but I'm not going to worry myself into an early grave over the thought of dying.

The way I see it, when Death taps me on the shoulder - That's it. I'll be dead and I won't care, but I'm going to fight the bastard tooth and nail if I see him coming <.<

Of course.

Anyone that says no is lying out the ass or trying to be an edgy fedora wearing scrub.

RustingFloor · September 16, 2014, 07:04:29 PM

Of course I am.

Sandtrap · September 16, 2014, 07:06:44 PM

For the time being, I'd prefer to hold on to my material things. But personally, I'm fascinated at what lies beyond, if anything. The only thing of real concern is how it happens. Over the years I've had a few close calls, and if I'd died from them, it would have been a shitty, painful way to go.

Im afraid of dying a painful terrifying death,
but Im not afraid of death itself.
Because what comes after.........will be incomprehensible.

Exactly

You won't be able to comprehend it

Because you won't have a consciousness to comprehend it with

September 16, 2014, 08:03:50 PM

I'm much more afraid of the concept of static nothingness than actually dying.

What's the point of having a serious discussion board if we can't debate, criticize and compare ideas?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Not at all.

Korra · September 16, 2014, 10:22:16 PM

Sure it is scary...very scary. You know, the possibility of there just being darkness after it all ends.

kush mcgush (ง◕ل͜◕)ง · September 16, 2014, 10:51:15 PM

Dying and staying dead doesn't really bother me.

But dying and going to hell or even heaven, Id pry get pretty bored if it was forever

But there is no notion of darkness without an ego. Nor is there any emotion to allow the fear of darkness to manifest itself.

Yes, there is nothing after death, just blackness.

Even your consciousness dies, your memories, your thoughts, everything goes.

I don't want to not exist. So yeah, dying scares the fuck out of me.

How can you say there is nothing after death when I am haunting you?

I really wish you were haunting me, we could prank people on Halloween

Sweet, sweet nothingness.
I actually think that sounds nice. No more worry, no more stress, no more fear.

I'm not afraid of dying because I know I'll be with God and my loved ones in heaven when I do eventually pass.

However, I am afraid of dying soon because I want to be here for my wife and child.

Getting angry shows that you misunderstood my point.
