I don't want to die but all the same I know I eventually will.... Fear it? No why should I fear what is going to happen fear or no fear? To live a life of fear isn't living...

I feel lucky for the privilege of living at all. I'm a Stoic. It enriches my life.

That depends : yes if it's a slow painful death struggling to breath while oozing bodily fluids , no if it's painless and not too long a illness . Life is way to short , as long as I wake up and see the sun shine and flowers , hear the birds sing,watch my dogs and grand children play I'll take all that I can

Not welcoming it

I used to fear death. Now, I anticipate it.

I want to die a most violent, painful, yet heroic death. In other words, in a blaze of glory. (If it were up to me.)

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to die anytime soon, but I'm kind of excited to see what's next when the time does come.

We do not truly die. I believe that our energy lives on.

fear of the inevitable is a waste of energy.

I’ve been told by hospice nurses that religious patients are the ones who fight the hardest to avoid death, and their deaths are harder on them as a result. If you believe you have a good place to go, why would you not want to go? Perhaps the ‘original sin, and ‘I’m not worthy’ dogmas are at work here, making them miserable in this life and dreading the next. Monotheists claim they get a lot of benefit from their beliefs. I’m sorry, but I just don’t see it.

I have a post on this topic you may find interesting (its the oldest of my 3 posts)

there are probably a few ppl here hoping that i'll check out soon. patience..

i've posted it before but here goes again: "i'm not afraid of death, i just don't want to be there when it happens"...Woody Allen.

Fear or not, there is no work around it so, why bother?

I fear death.
