Current Events > Do you personally fear death and dying?

(+) Yeah! (+)

do you? maybe you do not, at all. Maybe you just fear a painful and prolonged illness

yes.

if I could, I'd live forever, until the heat death, big crunch, whatever of the Universe, and spend the rest of eternity in the endless void

---

I'm not going to say no, but significantly fear it less so then when I was younger.

---

are any of you dudes religious though?

Not a bit really. I don't think it makes much sense to fear something inevitable. Don't get me wrong, I want to live a long life I just don't fear the end of it. If there is something I fear it's ending up like my Grandma who had Parkinson's. Her brain was still completely sharp, but her body was frozen. At the end she could not move even a tiny little bit.

---

No I'm actually quite grateful that there is an inevitable end. Even if my death is slow and painful, I do not mind. It will end eventually and that gives me peace. Yes, in accepting my own mortality, I was able to let go of my uncertainty. My suffering will all happen in the span of a human lifetime. And that makes my pain feel smaller.

---

Not really, apart from the dying process usually being rather unpleasant.

I dunno if fear is the right word. Maybe it is.

I resent the hell out of the idea of my life ending, though.

---

And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?

---
