I fear the manner in which I die.

If I die with a gun to my head.. then I won't fear it.

But if I'm crossing the street and some crazy car runs me over. Hellll no!! It's not even worth it.

If I was a vegetable I'd ask my parents to pull the plug.

If I had a woman and children and died trying to protect them.. then I don't fear it.

I only fear it as an accident rather than fate.

I'm not obsessively afraid of death right now, like "I could die at any moment! ;_;", but I am a little afraid of death in the perspective that I'm only 18 and I have my whole life ahead of me. It would really suck it I got hit by a bus or something. o.O

Yes I do fear dying...but it's more the manner in which I die that does it for me. No long lingering, painful illness do I seek. Just a quiet death in the night will suit me perfectly.

Well one of my favorite quotes,

"I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit." - Mark Twain

That said though, it would be ridiculous to not be afraid of death, since in many cases that is what keeps us alive.

If I wasn't afraid of death in the least, would I hesitate to jump out of a plane without a parachute simply for the joy of free-fall?

Why not? not like there's time to feel pain when you hit the ground. I believe that frame of mind would be a fast track to human extinction.

The difference is I can imagine, think, feel, and miss right now.

None of those were possible when I was dead the first time.

Of course though, after the fact I will again be unaware, but it's the suspense that kills you ;)

Of course i do! i never want to die. even though there will come that day when I'm sittin in my little old lady wheel chair having a heart attack:( oh well:) live every day like its your last!

If you were fucking your girl friend and then you get heart attack due to excess adrenaline secretion, you will really feel very bad that you failed to completely do it!

No, death will be easy. It's the part right before you die that I fear. I don't want to suffer, I want it to be quick. That's all I ask from God, well not really all I ask. That's all I ask concerning death.

death is directly proportional to hell

since everyone goes hell

why should we care

so blow the hell up on earth

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. Everyone dies, everything dies; what matters is doing as much stuff as you can BEFORE you die.

I accepted that when I was roughly 5 years old. It's just enjoying life to its fullest which matters.

Ha. I laugh in the face of death. We all die one day, and I know my final destination -- Do you?

We should not be afraid of anything that is unknown, if there is anything we will find out in due time. If there is nothing, we won't know, we will not be aware that we no longer exist, there is nothing to fear because we cannot be afraid.

No why would you even think of death.

The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.

Death itself is something I don't fear, but fearing the grief that develops within those who care for you is something entirely different.

Death is imminent, why fear what you cannot escape. The sooner you stop worrying about it, you can move on with your life. re-reading that sounds funny, but my point is valid

Besides, in Irish Mythology the general belief is that death is really just a transition into your REAL life, that you have a better life to live after you die! Thats why Irish Funerals are so happy!
