Are you afraid of Death?

Not afraid of death. I am afraid of dying, particularly in a painful, untimely or ungainly fashion. The yearly Darwin Award shortlist always reflects some my worst nightmares.

That sums it up for me. Part of me yearns for death; it's the dying that complicates things.

That's the one. So, no. I mean, let's face it, once I'm dead I'd probably be the last person to be bothered about it.

Just the thread I need, today my father died exactly 2 years ago. Death nah, you won't be there to enjoy being it (although some pretty strange things happened back then the following days, who knows). But the part where you die I kind of dread, must be scary. I have little intention to find out in the near future so I think I will stay alive for a while just for fun.

When climbing I have faced a situation where I might die. I was scared, but was too busy trying to stay alive than thinking about death.

Yeah I fear death. It's the unknown.

Im not afraid of death, because to me it is something i cant avoid or beat. To be born is natural, so is to die. So what is the point of to be afraid of something like that. What thinking of death makes me emotianally is that it makes me sad. Its the loosing your loved ones that is hard.
So if you would ask me do i prefer life over death? The answer would be yes. But do i fear it? No. When my time comes, it comes.
