Are you afraid of dying?

[Friedrich]

"I've always found this to be an interesting discussion. I mean lets face it we are all going to die unfortunately we don't really get to choose how we do so. " It's true, we are all going to die. it is an inevitability, as human beings. But i don't like to think about it, it makes me depressed. I should have known i was going into a dark tunnel of no return when i clicked on this thread.

As long as i do not die in vain, or i die old, i'll be happy i guess. If i die in war for my country, that is fine. If i die fighting, better than dying on your knees i figure. If i die 110 years old of a heartattack in my sleep, i guess i can be at peace with that. I just don't want to die doing something stupid.

Well, we ought to do something stupid at least 50% of the time we lived on this Earth. Death comes like a thief in the night.

I do not believe in an after life, so I'm not afraid of what's coming after death. But I think I will fear the moments right before my death, knowing that everything will be over soon.

 

[Sakimichi]

I'm afraid of dying poor. I wished iId live luxurious before I die. I'd be satisfied by that ;)

 

[renano]

I'm not afraid of dying... I'm living without regrets each day... I'm trying to do my best. So if it happens, then let it be.

 

[Shir0]

i am not particularly afraid of death, but i have some respect for death. (i hope thats logical xD)

Is this the guy that commit Seppuku(or is it Harakiri) in the JSDF General's office?
*Too lazy to Google.

Yes, this is Mishima Yukio. I absolutely love his literature works!

I'm not afraid of dying because sooner or later we'll die I just don't want to die suffering

I used to be afraid of dying, but I'm not really so afraid anymore. People are afraid of death because they want to leave a impression in the world and on others before they go. For most people they come into the world unknown, and they leave a unknown. Even with family and friends, they will be forgotten by them eventually as well.

no~

I'm more afraid of living, and can't help anyone until the end of my life~

 

[Alice Rei]

Maybe yes.. because I have many things that I still wanna do~

But I'm not too afraid~ XD

 

[D1V4]

I'm not afraid to die at all because I knew someday I would die, I'm more afraid of losing someone very dear to me because of the death

I'm still quite young, especially in the eyes of elders. That said, growing up was always lonesome for me and though I prefer solitude, it'd be a lie to say that there was never a time where I felt depressed from being alone. Death itself doesn't scare me, but the idea that I've done very little with my life sometimes gets to me. It's a melancholic feeling when I think about having accomplished very little and "dying too early" as many would put it. Living itself seems like a chore to me in contrast- it's a matter of fulfilling my aspirations before I do.

tl;dr - No I'm not afraid, but there are still things I'd like to get done. To be frank, Death isn't even a bad thing to me, possibly the opposite. I happily accept it whenever it comes, but I'd prefer to live a bit more. Just a bit.

 

[TTADPL]

Yes if you think about it... better not think about it ^^!~

 

[AhGwee]

Hard to say. I wouldn't mind death if I was able to do all the things I wanted to in life. And if I was able to leave an impression on some people, then I'd be glad to head off to the next world. But I still have much to accomplish~ so at the moment, I would be, and its only natural since you don't know when death is going to hit you.

It might even be from this grape I'm eating.

 

[naoeneko]

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm very much afraid of the pain that will result to my death. My life is so grey that I don't really care whether I die or not. Until that's changed, I wouldn't mind dying a painless death( Won't even to beg for mercy from the god whatsoever ). There's still a lot of things to discover in life though, so no matter how grey my life is, I won't give up the baton of life.

May be contradictory, but my point is I've no fear of death and wouldn't mind dying when it's time but while I'm living, I'll live my grey life to the greyest. LOL.

 

[Ak5shays]

Not quite. I'm actually quite the risk taking guy but now that I think about it, maybe it is scary. Aaahh, there's no need for me to think of it now.

 

[nawi]

Of course i'm afraid, i am a normal human too you know. But i know, Everything that has breath will die eventually, so maybe i just Keep my faith together. In the end, this world's just temporary:)

I do not fear death but I'm afraid people will die by my

 

[Chowlz]

I'm afraid dying in a crappy way. For instance, in a car accident, alcohol poisoning, or from something lame or humiliating enough that would get yourself on 1000 Ways to Die.

If I had to die, it had to be in an epic, heroic, way, like in some anime or manga ! I would still be afraid, but at least I'd die knowing I accomplished something (unless some douche decides to kill off the person I saved a few moments later, then I'd be hella pissed and roam the world as a spirit seeking for revenge! )

 

[Seemless]

Mhhh hard to say rigth now i would say no since ive seen lot of dying and death im a (geriatric nurse [male] <-- google since i didnt know it in english lol) but i think things look different when it is the time of my own death so in my opinion i cant tell if i am afraid of death or not before i am verry close to it

 

[scarlet lotus]

somewhat ....i only hope its not painful....

 

[Eternal Blue]

Nope

Whenever I feel like there is someone behind me in the cemetery,like a ghost or a monster and is about to strike me I take a deep breath and think, 'this is it huh'
