Do you fear death?


Akira

Recommended Posts

When I cease to exist, what can there possibly be left to even notice this? Me? That would signify my continued existence. As long as I exist, all is well. As soon as I don't exist, there's nobody left to even pose the question to, and the agony of non-existence is felt by no-one. The demon is waiting my lifetime for me to fall into his hell, but the moment I land, he will find himself with only a doll, an imitation - for the real me will be gone already.

No matter what you do, you'll die. And there's no such thing as eternal nothingness. The Earth is just one of the arcs (like in animes) of life that will end soon and a new arc will start again and yes we will still be around but just different. No such thing as nothingness. And no, I don't fear death. I do my life expecting death any second.

 

Live your life! Fear not death!

Honestly, I'm excited for it. Not in the masochistic, emo 'I can't wait to die thing', but in a curious way. I have a rather scientific orientated mind, and any knowledge I can gather, I try to gather it. As such, Death is actually one of the most exciting things I can think of; the ultimate question, the total unknown. There is not a single entity alive who can claim knowledge of what happens after life, for that would defy the point.

 

That's not to say I want to die. There are still so many things left to understand in this world, so many questions that already need answers. I wish to put off my death for as long as I can, so I may amass as much knowledge as I can in my short life(I've never been really punctual anyway). But when it is time to go, it is time to go, and I'll not fear the inevitable. What I fear is a painful death, for while yes, the pain will subside with death, I dont want my last moments to be painful. I want them to be happy.

Ask me a couple of months ago, and I would have been terrified of the supposed nothingness that would come after it. 

 

Now, I have my proof that it's not to be afraid of. Others might call me crazy for it, in fact I know they would, but that's them.

 

As for how it happens... So long as it's not agonizingly painful then I don't think I mind.

I really can't answer that question too well at all

I never think about death at all

But I do think about what others would think

When I'm dead, what would happen to my loved ones?

What would come by/happen when I'm gone?

 

Though if I were to die

Then I'd definitely not wanna die in a slow and painful way

I'm not afraid of 'death'. I'm afraid of my life ending before I feel satisfied in what I've learnt, and experienced, and achieved; but not in the concept of death itself. I fear pain,  but I tell myself that pain is bearable, and I try not to think about it. The idea of nothingness doesn't faze me, because what is their to fear?

I'm not actually scared of it. I'm scared of only a number of things, and well death is just not something I fear. The topic of death is just never on my mind. I've had people and animals close to me die, but I don't think I was ever scared of death. I just don't see why I should be afraid of death.

I'm not afraid of death.  That part been drilled into my during my childhood.  That'll happen when you go crazy fucking family friends who zealously take to the Roman Catholic religion in their own way.

 

What I'm afraid is not being there for the point in humanity's future where we step out into space.  I'm not talking about stuff like the moon landing.

 

I'm talking about when we first fight and kill each other in space.  When we learn the best ways to fight in space.  When we create large fleets of warships and colony ships, sending them out into the unknown.  Then when we first find new life and soon after that we fucking fight it.  I know we will, just look at what happened to everything else we meet.  I want to see us spreading out into the stars and I want to be there.  I want to see where we go and how we end or if we even do.  And you can't do that if you're dead.  Since you know, you'll just stop existing.    This is why I'm saving up money.  This is why I'm trying to find reliable and legit cryogenic facilities.

 

Hell, I'm even tempted to join the Army since they know good places and get good prices.

 

Or I go the next step and try to help out the College of Singularity.

I do not fear death. In fact, I am actually moreso intrigued to find out what exactly happens when we pass on. Though this is coming from someone that a psychiatrist deemed as a highly likely murderer, so I guess this is to be expected.

 

I share a similar viewpoint, and I'm rather pacifistic and peaceful. So I doubt there's any sort of correllation there.

I'm just a very curious person in General.
