I can't say I have any fear of death.
Perhaps it's because I've accepted the fact that everything happens for a reason; my death being one of them. I don't know when, how, or why it'll happen, but it will. And I guess it really comes down to the phrase (with several other wordings): "If you fear death all your life...are you truly living?" If you spend too much time brooding over when your time is going to be, then you're obviously not making the most of your life now. I feel better knowing that my time spent here was put forth in making this world a better place for those who have yet to experience life. And that in death, I'll be able to feel (if we truly do feel in death), that my life was completed. Fulfilled. Worthwhile living. And that I can start a new phase. I'm not sure what that "phase" is. Perhaps it's another life, going along with reincarnation. Perhaps it's "up above", or the several variations thereof. But all I want to know until then, is that this phase was spent making everything as good as I could make them. |

I myself do not fear death itself, but how I will die. I wish to die naturally and without suffering, but there is the chance of murder or something similar. There is no reason to fear death because it is destined to happen. It is a natural part of life. Fearing your cause of death is understandable though. As long as you have followed a good life, then you should be fine when you die. I myself am a Christian and hope to go to heaven when I die.

I kinda fear death but I'm not so worried about it. I fear It because I'm just not sure whats gonna happen, i don't believe in heaven and in life after death. Death is something nobody can tell you whats like... anyway i don't think anybody should waist his lifetime getting worried about death =] I can't say I have any fear of death. Perhaps it's because I've accepted the fact that everything happens for a reason; my death being one of them. I don't know when, how, or why it'll happen, but it will. And I guess it really comes down to the phrase (with several other wordings): "If you fear death all your life...are you truly living?"If you spend too much time brooding over when your time is going to be, then you're obviously not making the most of your life now.

Yea, I voted for 'kinda' because sometimes I feel that I do, and sometimes I feel that I don't. I remember growing up, when I was watching all the death in the news, it made me really fear death - I suppose because it was then I learned I wasn't immortal? But I've gotten past most of the fear... though sometimes it does happen to creep up every now and again.
But as it's been said... I don't really think that it's death I fear. It's probably a fear of the unknown. I didn't really think about it before, but that does make sense. I fear what comes after it. I'd like to believe that it's something good, but sometimes I wonder if there's something at all. It's funny how you can want to know what comes next, but to find that out, you'd have to die which is something that I just don't want to do. So, I suppose I'll have to await my turn lol |

Yes, kind of.
I remember when I was younger. When I was about five years I had troubles sleeping because I was afraid of death. I used to run crying up to my parents that always sat in the living room, and just cry and cry. I thought about my fathers mother, which I never got to meet - and I felt sorry for her, because she had died. Not only because of the fact that she was actually dead, but that she never got to see her sons grow up, get kids and kind of lost her life. I am afraid of the unknown. Some times I still get a bit scared of it. It often happens if I am thinking about if my life actually have any value, any meaning. And I just... I do not know, I just tend to become sad. I can make up a day dream, and for example pretend that my brother dies. Then I will start to cry. Always when there is something that has anything to do with death, I cry. Because it is sad, and I am afraid of it. |

When I'm Dead I'm dead, im not going to care, I'm being crucified anyway so I'm not bothered about being eaten by my own enzymes, my plan is to live until I die, of course people will be sad but oh well. To be honest if |
