There's other stresses that come along with it such as if you have a family that depends on you, how if you were to randomly get t-boned by a semi and die how your family would be fucked.

Living if you're healthy is objectively better than not living.

How is it better? It's better for those you love and those dependent on you but it's not better for you because there'd be no difference to you as the dead individual.

And if heaven is real then the fear of death is completely pointless because you don't actually die.
Now hell on the other hand... If that's real most of us are fucked biblically speaking and that's something to be afraid of.

I feel like this is only really a non-issue if you were killed instantly. Then truly, you wouldn't know.

If you get sick and you have to suffer for an extended period and you know there's no chance you'll make it? It would suck basically sitting around and waiting to die. Reflecting on everything you're leaving behind and not knowing what (if anything) comes next.

Either way, I figure there's not much point in thinking about it. It's gonna happen. I could die in my sleep tomorrow for all I know, and none of this will have meant anything at all.

No, it's being dead and we've established living is better than that.

Yes we do, its the exact same as it was for the billions of years prior to our birth. It was nothing and it was neither good or bad and it'll go right back to being that way.
Unless you believe in an afterlife then it's redundant because if you're not truly dead in that case, you've just entered a new plane of existence

Being dead isn't what scares people, it's the dying part that does. Dying isn't like you see in movies where you only suffer for a minute or two. In reality it can last weeks or even months depending on how determined your family is to keep you alive.

I suppose death could be just an illusion. That as soon as you die you exit the computer simulation or something.

@CedarPointcp No but I know what it's about and with technology advacing at such a fast rate. It really makes you think. People like Elon Musk are convinced we are most likely living in a simulation. I always wondered, what if we're all the same person? just in different timelines or something of that nature? If you think about it everything that exists can be counted as one, how many "things" are there? You can be counted as one person but in reality you're made up of trillions of smaller pieces. So if you were to zoom out of earth, zoom out of the milky way galaxy, zoom out of the universe, zoom out as much as possible. You could count everything as one. So I don't think death is the end. I think you just become something else. How do you know you weren't around in the dinosaur era, just as something else? You can't and that's what makes life so beautiful to me, that it's impossible to know a lot of things for sure.

I don't want a horribly brutal or painful death. I'm hoping its instant if it happens.

I don't know if I believe in an afterlife but right now I highly doubt it. Our consciousness most likely ceases to exist. It's kinda scary to imagine not existing but it's almost relaxing.

Like going to sleep and never waking up. A sweet surrender and release from the trappings of consciousness and existence.

But the pure idea of not existing at all in any way, shape, or form is downright terrifying too. Like it's not even darkness or blackness it's just straight up nothingness.
