death?

[DigiDice]

i use to fear it until i stopped and thought about it it happens to everyone eventually so why do we fear what is bound to happen why treat death with so much fear and respect it's nothing really special is it and if not why do we all care so much if we live or die i mean I'm not going to go looking for death but I'm not going to fear it ether so tell me is it the concept or death it's self that scares people

I am not scared of death. I am scared of a painful death.

People who are suicidal should realize that ending it all will never solve a thing. I myself came close to that once before. Literally, i was 3 seconds from it. I am so glad i was stopped. Since then, i have come to realize the futility in that. Now, i talk to various people with personal problems, to try and talk them out of it.

Tl;dr. Suicide is pointless.

I'm not scared of death, I'd look him in the eye and cheat him at cards, given half a chance. >

[hackzorz]

death hahahaha i would look death in the face and tell him to his face when i die im making him my bi***

[Superfish]

yea, like fusion said, im not scared of dying, cause i know where im going, but i am scared a a painful death... the 2 worst deaths that i think i could have would be 1: drowning and 2: being suffacated....i think that those 2 would be the worst of all personally...i would like to die, of old age/sickness in a hospital bed, when im not awake

It's actualy what happens after Death which makes people scared. People are naturally scared of the unknown, that's why Children have their nightlights, they don't know what might be in the dark, when you're older you begin to realise there's nothing, you know nothing will harm you in the safe environment.
I'll let you in on a secret. It's why I'm scared of going to my friends houses. To hang out, parties or to stay. I just can't do it. Because I'm scared of the could be, even though it's not likely to happen.

[Darkrai17]

I fear death because of the fact that what will happen after I do die. You see we muslims believe that after death you either go the heaven or hell. And the fact that the after life will be eternal..is my reason why I fear death.

[DigiDice]

will i'm glad that jerez and d17 understood my question but that makes me wonder . . . humans fear the unknown so we have researchers and we study it tell we know every thing we can but now, oh no! we learned that in some ways it could heart us what do we do that's right we're back where we started we are scared again oh and whats this something new has come in to the mix we now also want to eliminate the thing we fear why are humans so complicated when it comes to the emotion of fear

For me, I don't really fear death itself, but a painful or slow one would be, uh, bad. Like Fusion and SuperFish said, I think it would be horrifying to drown or be murdered. However, what has already become interesting in this thread is that some of you seem to think of Death as a person.
If Death's a person, I would offer to take his job. I think that would be a pretty good afterlife...

[Jerez]

I'll take Charon's job? I'll ferry them to the afterlife.

[Darkrai87]

I just hope that after death your not just laying there staring at white. I would be so god d*** bored.

[Fusion]

Hehe, you want Charon's job? Sounds like it would actually just be a neverending life of misery.

I do not think of Death as a person, however i sometimes refer to it as one :3

@87 i dont think it'll just be white. It will be nothing. You wouldnt even be aware of it, because of the lack of it. Also, your consciousness is gone, so there wouldnt even be nothing. The last thing you would have is seeing a bus come at you, or seeing things slowly fade away, or looking down at a pool of blood, or just not waking up ect... You wouldnt remember these or anything. You would just stop. No "freeze frames", no whiteness, no pearly gates. Your life just stops. You wont recall your life. All the memories you have built up would cease to exist. And i will admit: THAT, i am scared of. If you think deeply enough about that, it could drive anyone insane. Thats why i try not to.

Tl;dr, you die, you die.

[Darkrai87]

Lol. That would suck. I mean what's the point of living if it's al just going to go to waste? >.<

[DigiDice]

hm maby thats whats wrong with me lately i've been look so deeply in to this subject that it's finally driving me insane maby i should fined a different study subject this summer other than the fear of death

[Superfish]

you should study the anatomy of pineapples...or the anatomy of women...if u know what i mean :3

[DigiDice]

no i study the emotions of the human race lately I've been looking in to fear and that lead me to this thread because my summer subject was the fear of death something that even know so many say they don't fear deep down instinct tells them to fear it but the deeper i look in to it the crazier i seem to get so for my own good i need to fined a new subject

[Superfish]

like i said....pineapples...or women

[DigiDice]

-_-thanks for the help fish

[Superfish]

no problem buddy :-D

[ratminer]

Try looking at a different human emotion
Like happy
Look at what makes different people happy, what makes them laugh or smile, rather than find out what they fear the most

Ooooor paint your room yellow
that will surely brighten up your mornings
