It's not wrong ta b afraid or even unafraid of death, I've almost died myself and still managed ta survive. I'm not afraid of death, we'll all die sometime, I'm afraid of a life not lived. I still have many things left ta do in my life and I don' think that my time's up jus' yet.

I'm not afraid of death.Just what's on the other side.That's a big mystery to life that no one will ever know.Those who say they saw heaven/hell and came back usually were in the hospital of tried to OD on percription drugs.So I can't take their testimonies seriously.Because they took mind altering medication/drugs before borderlining.But yeah,as far death itself goes...if you're not afraid of that;you're not afraid of anything.I say it's a good thing.

Death funny word I laugh at it I mean why be afraid just let it happen don't walk away from fate. I am not afraid of death anymore it's an emotion and I have no emtions for it. If I was going to die I would knock myself out as if I'm in a dream and fall off a building. It'll be like being free and once I touch the ground no longer shall I be kept inside of this body. Which I reffer to as a cage it doesn't matter where I end up I can go to hell for all I care.

Im not scared but i dont want to die yet i do not think its odd because if some guy held a gun up to you would you be like im going to die i would just be like please dont kill me the only thing i would be like is please dont rape me in my mind.

*Lasura* · Dec 08, 2007, 12:54 PM

lol ^^ No it's not odd to me and it's definetely not wrong!!! I am surprised actually to see people who ARE freaked out of death... (no offence guys

)

I am totaly not afraid of death. Maybe because I think it is not the end of my existance alltogether, maybe because I know that some people will remember me and that I have left something behind, but I am not afraid to die unless it is really painful and really slow and really tortuing... I wouldn't want that...

It freaks me out to think that I might die from a stupid sickness that makes me lie in bed for weeks before dying... Or even worse- that I get stuck in a cave somewhere and die of starvation *shrugs*

And lately I'm just a bit unwilling to leave this place because I don't want to leave the people I love behind... *sigh* It would hurt them. I don't want that.... That is the only thing why I am a bit afraid of just dying suddenly.. tomorrow *spits three times over her left shoulder* *shrugs*

death is really only scary to people who fear what they dont know, that's what most people fear, But once a person comes to tearms with death, realizes there is nothing you can do about it and get's their own ideas of whats going to happen then they shouldnt really be afraid to die. You could still not want to die but there's a distict difference between not wanting to do something and fearing it.

mellow maromi · Dec 08, 2007, 01:03 PM

I mean, its not that I'm afraid of death because it will bring my loved ones into grief, its just that I dread it. There's a difference between fear and dread. I am not scared to die, i just dread that day. I know it will happen eventually.

But, what i don't agree with, is the excuse people are coming up with for not being afraid. "you're going to die someday, so why fear it?"

I mean, chances are everyone will experience everything at one point. Everyone will probably experience a car accident, everyone will experience a loved one dying, everyone might experience a robbery, everyone might experience getting kidnapped.

The thing is, just because it will or might happen, doesn't mean you shouldn't fear it. Just because it may be unavoidable doesn't mean you dread the day it will happen.

demon slayer · Dec 08, 2007, 02:21 PM

I still don't fear death if you read my message you'll know why. I don't fear because I would rateher kill myself then not have a choice. Espeacially if people are suffering in front of me I would just alugh at their misery. lol ah but I would leave and continue with this game we call life.xoxoxo

Point taken. Some do dread the thought of death. But, isn't that almost--ALMOST--along the same lines as fearing death? One shouldn't look at death in a negative manner, unless they have lived an empty life. If you were a shell of a man throughout your entire existence here on Earth, then you should be dreading death; because your life wasn't fufilled. If you spent a life striving to accomplish something--and at least accomplished a good portion of your goals--then there is nothing to fear. If you have any regrets in your past, then yeah, dread/fear death.

But if you just go with the flow of life, do your best to accomplish your goals, you shouldn't fear death. You should be talkin' trash to death. "C'mon! I'll kick your ass!" LOL.
