i'm afraid of dying in certain ways. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't want to |
||||||||

there's no use in being afraid of it. what is there to fear. eternal damnation? nothingness? it would be nice to know if your conciousness will continue to exist on some other plane of existence or if you will get reborn or something. |

I'm not afraid of death, but yes, dying as a process frightens me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's no use in a lot of what people do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup. fearing death is especially useless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i cant say im afraid of dying. i have to remind myself sometimes to make the most of each day, not take it for granted because death doesnt just wait at the end of your bed when your old and run out of things to be doing. |

im afraid of living |

i have a neurosomatic self-preservation reflex through which i'll experience the physical sensation of fear in response to the threat of death, but otherwise the apprehension i feel about death is similar to the feelings a kid would have when starting at a new school where everyone and everything is unfamiliar. |

i'm not afraid of dying i'm afraid of a violent death though. :( |
||||||||

I'm afraid of djing. (I don't think I could change records fast enough) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I'm afraid of not existing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

just because there is no use in being afraid of something doesn't mean you will not be afraid of it... it's not like you had total control over your fear and could choose what you fear and what you don't. i can't say i'm afraid of it; i'd be more afraid of, say, getting caught by the police for whatever and having to go in prison. or becoming tetraplegic. or stuff like that. but i can't say i've ever been close to death either. |

I'm not afraid of death, per se, actually I can't wait to find out what it's like and feel the emotions associated with it and see what happens on the other side. But I really fear the end of my life. I really like this existence. And I'm afraid I'm going to die in a less than cool way, I'm scared that I'm going to die rudely. Wrong time, wrong place, wrong way. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

That was what I was trying to say, only using more words. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I'll see you all posting on xlt in purgatory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. I don't want to. Often I rreally don't want to live eitherr, but knowing the only otherr option is death I plod on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm afrraid of dying and of being dead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm prrobably morre fearrful of people that I know dying though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

if you rationalise most of your fears you'll find that they are useless (except of course if your afraid of crossing a big highway with lots of cars then your fear is useful because it makes you more cautious when crossing the road). but you're right, it's not like we're made of rock or anything. i suppose what i was trying to say was that i don't see any reason to fear death; it would be counter productive to living (not sure whether counter productive is the right term to use but hopefully you get what i mean). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't see any rreason to fearr death? because if we didn't fearr death then humans wouldn't exist anymorre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, like toxikfb said, when it's your time, it's your time. i'm not gonna curl up into a ball and await the inevitable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no but that doesn't mean therre's no rreason to fearr it. everry living crreaturre fearrs death. to say you can't see any rreason seems crrazy. surrvival of the species. |
||||||||

It's too easy to comparre the fearr of going to a new school and the fearr of death when you'rre sat in yourr house in the UK on the computerr. The fearr of death is grreaterr than almost any fearr going. Ok, you could say... it's the fearr of being HURRT to death that's scarry, but it boils down to the same thing. I'd be morre frrightened having a killerr with a gun to my head (painless death), than walking into a new classrroom, although the rresponce is chemically the same it's to a much grreaterr degrree. |

|
sure as a human my natural instict is to prevent myself from dying. at the moment i prefer living, i know it's not going to last. maybe i am crazy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not afraid of dying, just afraid of pain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oops you're right, sorry, i missed your post. : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not afraid of nobsmuggler dying |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but if we weren't afraid of death at all, people would kill themselves a lot more than they do now... maybe people wouldn't mind risking death hazards and in the end there would be more deaths... it could be counter-productive as well, no? |

Hey Anus, has typing those extra Rs for so long hindered your ability to type properly for things other than this message board? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the earth is over populated so maybe that would be productive :) don't listen to me, i'm making this up as i go along. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
niether am i, the hansome bastard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe. : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'm more afraid of living. Or not living to the fullest. Wasting my life. Trying to control things I can't change. I wish there was a manual for living a full and wonderful life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everybody is we know that after that its all over |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we can't know for sure, just believe. (just for the record, i'd prefer non-existence to a horrible afterlife, or even to eternity. eternity... now that's something scary.) ((and just for the record, i'm not sure what "just for the record" actually means.)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just for the record = for shits and giggles |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's 100% sure that there is nothing at all after death, and that everyone that contemplates a possibility of afterlife is just refusing to accept that death means the void of all consciousness. now you might call me a stubborn cunt or say "but I think that there is SOME KIND OF CHANCE THERE MIGHT BE..." - no. it's just not gonna happen. the brain dies, the soul is a fairytale and it's lights out. fear rationality! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
fair enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

When watching particularly gruesome films I often think, ooo I wouldnt want to die like that. But its nothing really more than a thought. Im not afraid of not existing because: 1) because I wont know anything about it 2)Im not particularly making use of my existence in any constructive way anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am very afraid to die, there is too much stuff that i want to do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nothing to fear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on a rudimentary level, don't you HAVE to fear death? why do you eat? why do you obey laws? traffic signals? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
death is process of life, death is the end process of life, do you fear the process of life? i dont fear anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say no. but considering I'm a coward (thing I realized recently) i'd have to say 'I guess I am'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess it all depends on what you believe happens to you or your essense when you die - i am inclined to believe that when you die, thats it - you cease to exist - the actual being you are has come to an end - on the otherhand, why would you fear this? i think dying of eventuality is the only thing that keeps me alive. thats why i dont fear it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all i know is i can't avoid it so hopefully when it happens it'll be fucking crazy cuz you only get to die once and it should be cool when you do! |
