Death

inb4 "i wanna die haha look at me everybody"
but death doesnt scare me. the only thing that worries me is that if death targets one of my friends.
 
Right now, I am scared of death, primarily of dying young and not being able to live my life. But that also inspires me to live life to the fullest and try to be happy everyday, because you never know when it'll be your last day.

That being said, I am scared of death, but I've also accepted it.
 
i don't want to end my life but i'm not exactly interested in prolonging it, or concerned about my legacy. i die when i die, and i'm fine with that. i do hope that when i do eventually die, i won't even know about it beforehand. i'd prefer to just go suddenly rather than die a long and painful death. i'd rather just die like quickly and painlessly?
life's what you make it though, i guess. it's only a matter of time.

Death is just the final stage of life, and not to sound Xx_edgy_xX or anything but I'm a nihilist and I think life is meaningless and random. Death is just as random. But I'm not rude and can respect the people who are afraid of dying.

well i'm gonna die before i'm 40, maybe before i'm 30.. and i'm 24 in April so

we'll see how my disease progression goes. :/ most likely it'll be extremely painful and horrible, but i'll have so many painkillers i probably won't care. it doesn't bother me because i'm not living for a meaning, just stuff i like to do

Probably my favorite topic to write about. I don't quite fear it, but it's not something that I would like to fully embrace. I often write short stories and stuff about walking between life and death, purgatory, reanimation, the grim reaper, stuff like that. It's pretty fun.
 
Death is a necessary part of life. We would be worse off without it.



Plus, without death, how would I slay my enemies?
 
I think I'm pretty normal in being afraid of death, so I just ignore it and when the thought of it comes up, I push it back down and watch a funny cat video. Still pretty normal I think.
 
My biggest fear is that there is nothing afterwards. Not even solely for myself but for the fact that it means I would not be reunited with my loved ones and that would be it. I've had many loved ones die so I do contemplate death more often than some other people, probably, but it's not a constant thing.

Struggling with depression obviously brings about some of these darker thoughts as well but I haven't had dark thoughts like wanting to take my life in some time and even when I did have them they were too scary to act upon simply for the fact that I'm afraid of there being nothing afterwards.

But I don't think people should be judged for thinking about death. It's not like they're hurting anybody and there are ways to think about morbid topics without making it so you end up wallowing in them.
 
Concerning this subject, I'm normally okay with this and I've accepted the fact that I'm going to die one day of some random or natural cause. I'm not nihilistic or anything, I honestly think it's best to enjoy your life to the highest length you can before that time is up. Honestly, the meaning of life in my opinion is that the search for meaning gives us meaning and that you just have to be happy.

From time to time, I have thoughts and philosophies about life that are just plain absurd, but that's my opinion and everyone has their own opinions about life itself. Their opinions can be morbid, nihilistic, misanthropist, etc. Again, I've accepted the fact that I'm going to part from this ever-changing planet and hopefully be reborn as a pony see what's on the other side. I'm honestly an atheist so I don't believe in any type of god and the only thing I truly worship is that sweet goodness I call 'Food'.

Now that I think of it, I can be a serious procrastinator, I'm most likely going to procrastinate my death. XD
 
Love death, can't wait for it. :)

In all seriousness though, I've come to have a rather indifferent acceptance of death. As a kid I was more worried about people I loved dying than I was about my own life ending, because well I'm selfish and want the people I love to stay here obviously. But as I've gotten older and dealt with a lot of suicidal thoughts, it's finally hit me that death really doesn't matter. The soul lives on and the only thing that death does is hurt the people you've left behind. It's evident in funerals; we don't hold funerals for the deceased individuals. We hold funerals for the living, because they're already dead and gone for god's sake. The physical body is a mere vessel for our souls according to my core beliefs, so death is really just the soul leaving the physical plane. Anyways, at the end of the day, death kinda sucks but I believe there are no accidents, even if it means an untimely death for someone.
 
I was suicidal from the age of 10, I spent my childhood depressed and now, just getting it out of it as a 'young adult'/teenager, I sort of feel like my life has only just started. So I'm scared of death, I suppose. And spiders.

But seriously. Memento mori.

Very nice said, Kat Rose! :)
 
The physical body is temporary. I'm looking forward to the after life in heaven. <3 Jesus man :)

Yeah it's just kind of hard to imagine there just being nothing and not existing anymore. I imagine that to be like when we're unconscious from anaesthetic or something where you don't even dream....it's such a strange thought.
And that's probably the only thing that worries me, not the actual death as mine will most likely be in my sleep.
But to just not wake up and know nothing of anybody left behind...frightening thought
 
Very afraid since age 9, wish I could trick myself with beliefs but I'm a fact person.
 
There isn't anything about death that you need to fear. Sure, losing a loved one is painful but the only thing you can do is pick yourself back up and move past it. There will always be someone to care about you. A song may go by quick and be close to ending, but is that any reason to stop listening? No, it isn't. Live your life to the fullest, you're capable of doing whatever you want in this life.
 
I'm not afraid of death. I was not alive for millions of years (or thousands for you crazy new Earthers). Being not alive again will be no different.

Unless there is an afterlife. I don't believe in one, but I do have some fear that we are all one being living a multitude of lifetimes. And if that's true then I have or will at some point live the most terrifying life that could possibly be imagined because someone, somewhere, at some time, has lived that worst life. This is why I always try to be kind to everyone. That person could be me in another lifetime and I would hope someone would treat me as kindly as I try to treat others.
