Are you afraid to die? Why or why not?

We long to be here for a purpose, even though dispite much self decieption, none is evident. we're johnny come latelys. we live in the cosmic boondocks, we emerged from microbs in muck.apes are our cousins. our thoughts and feelings are not fully under our own control. there may be much smarter and very different beings elsewhere, and on top of all this we're making a mess of our planet and becoming a danger to ourselves. The trap door beneith our feet swings open, we find outselves in bottomless freefall. We are lost in a great dfarkenss and theres noone to send out a search party. given so harsh a reality of course we are tempted to shut our eyes and pretend that we are safe and snugg at home, that the fall is only a bad dream. once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find outselves on the threshold of a vase and awesome universe that utterly dwarfs in time in space and in potential the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors. we gaze across billions of lightyears of space to view the universe shortly after the big bang and plumb the fine structure of matter.

I'm not. And I'll tell you why. Because life is long and wonderful, and age is slow. By the time I get to the end I'll have lived a long time and be ready. I'm ready now, in a way. I'm going to leave something behind so that part of me lives forever. Even unto the end of time. And death-- I believe it's the end. It'll be good to rest in pure nothingness!

Dying is easy. I'm afraid of living.

Death is the only adventure.

Yes. But not enough to be a pussy about it.
Death is merely the death of ego. If you're had legit ego death before, then you know what it's like to actually die.

Same, had 2 NDEs and while I don't want to die, at this point I am fairly certain its unacceptably rude to turn down death a third time.

it wont be resting, freak. it will be not-existing

The crossing point seems scary, but ultimately waiting patiently like everyone else.

I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.

If anyone ITT needs help killing himself (you) me, I am sort of knowledgeable on doing it reliably and without suffering

go fuck yourself australian trash

That's New Zealand...

I'm both terrified and fully accepting of it. It's going to happen, but the idea that I only get one shot at life, and this is how I spend it deeply saddens me. Your life is just an infinitely small point on an infinitely large line

classic Amerifat :DDD

I don’t want to die old. Is that strange? I’ve always imagined myself dieng at around 40. I’d hate to be all wrinkly and covered in piss and unable to do anything for the last 20/80 years of my life. I’m not scared of dieng right now I’m sure if someone was threatening to kill me I’d be peepee and shidded in my pants but if it’s abything like sleeping and not having a dream and just nothing, then what’s to fear?

But it is

Im only afraid of dying with regret.

youre too stupid to fear death. continue breastfeeding and being spoonfed cheerios well into your 80s.

I welcome it

I don't believe you get one shot your consciousness lives on and your soul keeps striving for spiritual progression. We all have many lessons to learn. This shell dies but the spirit nahh. Look in the mirror and what do you see. We are already in heaven.

fuck user, thanks for making me want to die

In afraid of the process of dying, not so much of death itself

Have you realized that some of the people you talk to on here just seem... off?

at 95 id probably welcome it

The only thing that makes life precious is the fact that it is brutish, nasty and short.

>For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Not at all. My future is secure in Christ who defeated death once and for all. I'm just waiting it out to see what he wants me to do while I'm here

Most people in the first world feel too invincible to truly appreciate or contemplate the reality of death.

So I'm the only nigger in this thread that will admit I'm afraid of dying? Not that it occupies my thoughts often, or more than once a month at all, but how can you not fear the idea of ceasing to exist, since there is nothing but the act of existing. Once you're dead it's the end.

get a load of this normie

It will be amazing. No more bills to pay.

And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime...

Because its either you live on or you wouldn't know anyway.

I've seen some real shit, but something's off about some of these posts.
It's like they're not human, their comments are non sequitur to the thing they talk on, or they hold positions illogically.

Here's a secret that's going to make life so much easier:

By and large, people aren't rational

I am of the opinion that there is rational thought at the center of all humans, how would they survive if not for that?

I would say it’s closer to hell

I think everyone it's weird and a bit crazy. Some people can just hide it better. Who knows what goes on in their mind.

same thing

I didn't think about dieing until I had a son. Now the thought of leaving him alone in this world scares the shit out of me.

I'm more afraid of the lead up to death...organs breaking down, reduced mobility, and everything getting progressively more painful

It's both at the same time it's what you make of it. Think of the best possible feelings and events one can experience in life. Then think of the worst possible feelings and events.

>fading into nothingness after death
You're going to be fading into hell for all of eternity. You should be afraid if you don't repent.

Yes
If I die I can't be comfy

Not afraid to die, looking forward to it actually cause what is beyond is better. Pic related, you all need Jesus.

seems to be the common answer. lung cancer, ass cancer, etc. no bueno.

Faggot you fuck dogs and voted trudy gtfo of my country huwite dogfucker

i dont think you would make a very good poet. thats not what makes life precious. what makes life precious is the rare good times.

This

What happened?

No, destiny has already determined when i will die and i know that i will reincarnate back into the world

Youre doing it wrong then Do something that will exist after you die. Most people have kids for their legacy but lets be real, its your accomplishments that live.

damn and now i now why talk about poдинa, they fucking raped Poдинa-мaть.

I’m already dead. The sooner you figure that out, the easier it is to live with.

Nope because it’s an escape from this painful and frustrating life. I’ll keep grinding and making the most of what I can in life but when my time comes I’ll welcome it

He saw his dad naked.

Not right now; if you started waving a hunting knife in front of my eye that might change.

As a generality, fear of death is unavoidable, especially when it comes close.

Bravery isn't the lack of fear, but the overcoming thereof.

I don't think the people saying "no" would just let me stove their head in with a brick - so there must be fear there on some level.

But men are famous liars and full of bravado; it's how they're supposed to be.

>i dont think you would make a very good poet
It was from Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan.

Yes. Because fucking obviously.

Yeah when I was 12 I was afraid.

Thank you at least someone gets it. I don't know why people find this stuff so hard to figure out.

Death comes to us all, but I wish to have a fulfilling life before I die.

i can agree about the short part making it precious. brutish and nasty doesnt really do it for me though. maybe he had a bad nights sleep when he wrote that.

Wow what a bunch of fags. We aren't going to die. The tall whites guide our souls to another universe to take on a physical body there

Afraid? I cant fucking wait!

Glass half empty

Marty is on the team for halo 6, there is hope

I am afraid to die alive. If i need to die let me be dead.

Are you afraid to live?

Imagine that as you fall asleep you die, and when you wake up - completely new copy of you is being turned to life. That made me rather indifferent to this fear.
Though it would be a bummer if I died. Not for me, but for you fuckers, because I'm working on something ground-breaking. To do so I rejected reproduction. You will reanimate or at least clone me if something bad happens to me. I will do my best to reverse aging, or at least to preserve my sexy corpse.

>within 10 years
And when you leave the clinic after the operation, your autonomous atomic flying car will fly you home for recuperation in your personal holodeck.
In just 10 years.

not at all. I'm only afraid of being respawned in this shithole or a similar one like in a crappy 3dshooter game.

Picking "decay" as a primary law of the universe was a colossal dick move.

I'm more afraid of living longer than I am of dying.

Thanks.
>compliments to the mini series ‘Band of Brothers’ for that one

I'm talking about old man pains in your joints, back, brittle bones, dick stops working, and possibly needing a catheter

Must we listen to this insufferable christcuckery? I'd rather converse with adults on this topic.

>your consciousness lives on
lol.
Your consciousness is the product of electric activity in your brain.
No electricity in brain, no consciousness.

You are nothing but a black hole into which perceptions flow. Thoughts rise unbidden in your mind, and you perceive the baseless certainty that you willed them into being. As a faceless perceiver, what evidence do you even have that you exist in the first place? None.

Taking a more materialist route to reach the same conclusion, look into severed corpus callosum experiments, in which the two lobes are severed. The patient will verbally justify things that the other half of his brain is doing, without knowing the reason that they were done. Consciousness is an elaborate lie.

Guy was a big dumb, anti-racist faggot.

No not at all. I can't fucking wait for it. What I hope most of all is that there is no God, and that's it's just nothing afterwards. That's what I suspect it is, but I don't want my parents to suffer anymore than they already do, so I'm trying desperately to outlive them.

The thought of one day ceasing to exist is one of the few comforting things about life.

Weed regains youthful state of mind. But don't try other drugs. They put weed in the same catergory with some vile powders to trick you into something nasty. Don't be a fool, read medicinal manuals first. Some of them speak the truth.
