Despite the glorious rewards promised in the afterlife by religions, it seems there is a lot of fear of death. I do not fear death. Is this pretty much true of most humanists, freethinkers, agnostics, and atheists?
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.
there are probably a few ppl here hoping that i'll check out soon. patience..
Hell yeah I fear death . I have no desire to die , I like been alive u know . And I am pretty sure I ll be crying like a baby when I ll be given my walking papers from life . For about a day or so . And that's that . Knowing me , probably I ll get over it and facilitate my way to death when it's time to go .
I ll be damned thou if I live my life worrying about my death every day . Nobody escaped that f r . Another reason to " live ". Have fun , do good , and if possible live and be loved . Rest ain't matter .
Death is something I do not fear, but neither is it something I'm actively seeking. Death, like most unpleasant chores, is something I prefer to put off as long as possible.
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
I feel lucky for the privilege of living at all. I'm a Stoic. It enriches my life.
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 do not fear death but I fear a painful death. My biggest regrets at death will be my loss of daily "sense of business" that most of us have as a routine. Nothing to you but everything to me, many people build ghost stories on this. I do not believe in ghosts, wholly, holy, or otherwise.
