Re: Are you afraid of Death?
I'm more afraid of living a boring life.
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
I'm only 20 years old, much better things to do...But to be sincere yes I'm. Then again all humans are afraid of death, many fears that we've are an expression of that primitive fear.

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Right now, I'm not afraid of it. It is impossible to say, with certainty, how I will feel when faced w/ it more directly.
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
No not at all.. Experience makes you feel ready.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: 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.
The bloody trouble is we are only alive when we’re half dead trying to get a paragraph right. - Paul Scott
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Not really. An eternal life would get hugely boring, so a timely death is a blessing, if you think about it.
As others have said though, I do fear dying in a horrible way. Anything that involves dismembering I'd hope to avoid.

I only fear dying because it will leave a lot of unfinished business behind, so i voted Gah!

You cannot live forever. But I am afraid of other people dying.

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
LOL, the poll is hillarious. Look at all the people who try to act tuff.
As for me, I do not think I'm afraid now, but that changes all the time.
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
That sums it up for me. Part of me yearns for death; it's the dying that complicates things.Originally Posted by AdrianII

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Quite close.. At least I have a taste of how it feels when you're dying..
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Yes - Because it's a serious case of the unknown mixed with psychological heaviness, possible pain, and the supernatural.
No - Because I'll get to see my dog again.

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Well of course as a living organism, you strive to survive . Ones who replied "No" are not anyone throwing themselves into a road..
Whoever replies "no" is contradicting with a law of nature.

I say no because, when death comes into my mind, I react saying "If it has to be, so be it" and I don't feel anxious at all. I love living and am not bothered with death idea, I mean.

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
In this instant, I perceive no imminent harm to myself, so I see no reason why I should be fearing death now. Also, there are people that commit suicide. Thus, that supposed law of self-preservation is not univeral.
Re: Are you afraid of Death?

As a person who lived his one and half year with the constant thought of suicide, although never attempted, I can detest that. Every living organism fears death. You may overcome that fear, in which LEN's case for instance fits though. But it's there and it will always be.

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Who's death?
Or indeed, who's Death? Some anthropomorphic being with a big scythe?
Seriously though, I suppose I'll just have to see what happens - it's the unknown, always a scary thing that. Like the mind of a woman. Scary.
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
I'm more afraid of somebody else.
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
If you are not afraid of dying then you have lost the will to live, and that's not a pretty thing...
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Don't be so sure about it mate

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
A more interesting question would be, how many have actually faced death and not been afraid....
Re: Are you afraid of Death?
Not at all.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Are you afraid of Death?
I'd have to say Gah, because I really can't give an honest answer. A part of me says no, yet another part says yes. Only time will tell.
