shai_hulud · 05-26-2008, 09:08 PM

god no. a lil afraid of how I will die, though.

^ word. not really afraid of death, but im terrified by the act of dying. you emerge in this world giving someone else tremendous pain, and you exit this world in tremedous pian. not fun.

Theres no use fearing the inevitable. Since it will happen, accept it. Make due with what you have, no matter how much time you have left of it. Worrying about the things you can't control will deter the value of the life you are living now, so don't dwell on lives that might happen or deatht hat might happen, live for today.

I'm not scared of dying, but I'm scared of what I'd be losing when I do eventually die. Then to think what happens; either you never have another thought or you're reincarnated/heaven/hell. It's a weird thought to be thinking.

**SweetSativa** · 05-27-2008, 06:37 AM

Well, as a mother/ wife/ daughter, once in a while the thought creates a fear. I guess people are just more careful when they have kids. But as far as death itself... not really. It's a 'fear of the unknown' type of thing. I watched a good friend die recently and it evoked allot of feelings that I didn't know that I had. I had an experience while in a mild trance state during a healing ceremony in his honor lead by a tribal elder. I felt his spirit and saw him smile behind closed eyelids. It could be explained away with psychology but I feel that he really was there. My mom also had a NDE and I have every reason to believe that life continues. When I have found myself in doubt and thinking that maybe there is nothing after this (which seems sillier to me than believing there is with all things considered and even when attempting to be 'scientific')... well, what is there to fear? If we're gone, we're gone... right? I hope I don't suffer and linger for years.

death is the facade we hid our true nature behind.

Flamingnun · 05-27-2008, 09:34 AM

Provided i'm not in some tumultuous terminal illness, or equivalent, death's not an issue. It's not as if i'll know im dead when it happens.

spicoli · 05-27-2008, 09:46 AM

i'm scared of the way i'll die. i don't want it to hurt. i'm a wuss.

kamikazi89 · 05-27-2008, 11:25 AM

not at the moment...i hope to have some acid for the occasion

Waves · 05-27-2008, 12:42 PM

hell no

im scared of real shit, like spiders

death is an illusion and a waking to your infinite nature, sort of like when you wake up in the morning and you go "oh shit that was a dream"

yeeeeah

tedkennedy · 05-27-2008, 12:58 PM

im not scared of dieing because i dont believe i will die anytime soon/

but the idea of dieing scares me , yes

sometimes it doesnt seem so bad tho

Vik*star* · 05-27-2008, 07:39 PM

Atleast dying will begin with hallucinations just like sleep, trip, unconsiciousness begins. Donno what will happen after that though.

Am I scared of dying: Ofcourse I am.
Why: Cuz unlike other processes, this one is irreversible.

Swisha · 05-27-2008, 11:55 PM

I believe it was a quote by James Thurber. "To fear death is not to understand life" I'm scared of dying only for the fact that I'm blurry on whether there is an afterlife.

Fall · 05-28-2008, 12:12 AM

I'd like to hold off for a while and get some more living done, but the only fear I have of death is that it is unknown and uncontrollable, but that also makes it sound kind of cool. I like to say I'm cautiously curious about death.

Kishar · 05-28-2008, 02:06 PM

It can be scary to think about but there's nothing we can do about it, it's going to happen. I hope it's while I'm sleeping, extremely drunk or knocked unconscious then die but having the luck I've always had I'm sure I'll go out with a broken back while holding my own intestines in my hands and choking on blood and vomit till i finally expire 3 hours later.

matthewmunari · 06-04-2008, 12:52 PM

deaths the next logical progression...ask a baby if he was scared to be born, you have no choice in the matter.....but death is not something to fear...
you actually cannot destroy energy, therefore, you can't really die off.....your energy still lingers

Exempt · 06-04-2008, 01:12 PM

im not really that scared because of the many ways it could happen...however.... i hope to fuck there is no heaven and hell etc....else i may be a lil screwed

Porcelain · 06-04-2008, 01:29 PM

No, I'm actually a little comforted by the fact that I won't have to pull off living forever. Regardless of what happens in the end, it doesn't scare me. I'm open to the possibilities of being reincarnated, sent to heaven/hell, being in a state of lucid dreaming...whatever people come up with to explain death, it seems alright by me. I don't feel like I'm going to die until I'm very old and the way I die doesn't scare me either as long as I know, in my time of dying, that I have done everything I wanted to do while I was alive.
