I fear being forgotten and insignificant more than death, to be honest.

Ever since I was a kid I have been scared of dying... I am not sure why or how it came about, but I believe it was around my 17th birthday when I saw an 18 film was coming out soon (I think it was Freddy vs Jason) and I said "I cannot wait until I am 18!!!!". My Nan over heard me and said "Never wish your life away, you will regret it on your death bed"... I remember lying in bed that evening and thinking long and hard about death and how final and irreversible it is. My mum also used to say 'One year less on this Earth' when I was a kid and wished her happy birthday.

Your family sound like fun.

just live your life

[-WhySoSerious?]

Not in the ******* slightest.

[butthead7]

i'm pretty scared of dieing too but theres really no point in worrying about it when your so young. i just really hope theres something after death. i can't accept the fact that thats just it and you're no more.

we all die, but do we really die?

[captnibby1234]

No...

coz i'll escape hell one way or another.

I have a plan and god doesnt know it

[ChocolateFish]

Ooh yes, completely! It all started last February when I went into the hospital for a day and I realised that we wouldn't all be around forever. It's scary...the first 18 years of my life have gone so quickly, and in another 18 years I'll be 36!

[Mr. MadMonkey]

Nope. Why should it be scary? Be interesting to get the answers to whether religion is all bs or not.

Long as you do as much with your life as possible.

[Yusuf.T]

Im not as scared of dying as i was when i was younger, i mean yeah everyone is a tad bit fearful of death because we dont know whats gonna happen to us. Im more worried about HOW im going to die rather then death itself. Death is going to happen,you might aswell accept it and just live your life

Well personally i think there is something after death. Im not even religious mind you.

I mean who and what is to say that there isnt something after death?

Really? I've been thinking about this... if there is a life after death, traditionally speaking, you've got two options. The first is hell, which is, by all accounts, the worst thing anyone could possibly experience, going on and on and on and on for all eternity. I think I'd prefer oblivion to that.

The second is heaven, which is eternal bliss. But obviously, it wouldn't be the kind of place where you'd have physical wants that would be satisfied - hedonism is supposed to be sinful - and to still have emotional and spiritual wants would cause suffering, so they would be instantly fulfilled.... but that means that you wouldn't be striving for anything, trying to acheive anything, helping anyone... you'd just exist. Forever. In a kind of aimless, punch-drunk inertia. And it wouldn't really be you, would it? If all the hopes and dreams that define you are suddenly negated? To me, that's much scarier than not being here at all.

I don't know, I'm just speculating. But neither possibility sounds particularly appealing!

See my sig

[DayneD89]

Seems silly to worry about it, its gonna happen. Odviously i want to go peacefully like my grandad, not screaming like the passengers in his car but im not scared.

Mind my oppinion could be biased by my belife in reincarnation (im pagan) or by the fact iv got bipolor and have attempted suicide a few times, hence have faced the possibility of death a few times.

[Stomm]

I am more concerned about what would happen to my wife and daughters were I to die now than any actual fear of death itself. Although of course I would much rather 'finish' more things, as it is the memories you leave in others, your children and the things you leave behind that define your life when you are gone.


And of course saying that, I am much, much more concerned over the safety of my children than my own safety. I'm guessing that this is the case for most parents, especially of very young (and incredibly cute, if rather trying at times) children. Even thinking of either of them being in any great pain fills me with a sadness that cannot be described, and makes thoughts of my own demise pale into insignificance...

And on a similar line, I would much rather try to do something myself if I can find the time than to pay someone to do it. It is far more satisfying seeing our floorboards and knowing that I sourced the reclaimed timbers myself, cut them to size, including the really fiddly ones around the door frames, patched up all our floors, sanded them, cleaned them, sanded them again, sanded them really, really finely, applied wax-varnish at about 3am after the dust from the builders had gone, then wiped any 'bits' off after it had dried, applied another coat, and then did the same with a final coat...


Not only do I know that said floors, the landscaping in the garden, the 34 square metre raised deck and so on was all built, made, etc... by my own blood sweat and tears, but it was probably done better than if we'd just paid someone to do the same...



Right, now I've got a vegetable patch to knock into shape. Lots of flipping roots to sift out...

True, but if you were ready to die all the time, your life would be very miserable.

[elldee]

I think most people are a little scared of it- it is the unknown after all. The people who give it the whole 'live fast die young' are just chatting crap to look cool, if you sat them down and told them they were going to die soon they wouldn't be jumping around all giddy.
