Recently I discussed the concept of death with a dear person. I would like to know the community opinion on it.
Wasn't afraid to come into the world why would I fear leaving it. Death is not something to fear just something to avoid for as long as possible.
Not at all; I truly cannot understand how it scares people. For certain you are no longer there. So if you are not there, what are you missing? And I do believe my atoms will continue on while joining up with other systems and who knows , maybe this too will have a mind to listen too.
I want to see the people I care about find happiness, then like yall I've got reservations about the process of dying. But death? I think about it a lot. I'm not scared of nothingness. I do wish I could see the world and cosmos through the ages with a conscious eye. Oh well.
I do not fear death. Pain of dying (ie heart attack), yes, but death, no.
Only in the manner of how I die. I think burned to death would be most undesirable.
Yes,trapped in a burning vehicle after a serious car crash,not of your doing,would be a horrible way to die.
@Mike1947 Yes it would. So would drowning.
@Captain747ex The street races,between two(Usually) hot headed teen males,on who's cars's the fastest,had caused more deaths. T-bone collisions,on off in a ditch most times.
@Mike1947 That's a terrible way to go.
Suspect I'll be as I was before I was alive. To my knowledge, at that time, I wasn't afraid of being born
There are all levels of fear and apprehension. Seems like almost everyone would feel a little bit of apprehension, but if you mean deep dread, there’s no reason for that.
I'll qualify my NO. Like anybody else I am not looking forward to any suffering and inconvenience that goes along with so many deaths. Good quote, Kathleen. I'm here today and am going to live it to the fullest even it it only means getting in firewood before the hurricane we are expecting this week in Az.
