Are you afraid of Death?
0
Kinda, I´m afraid of non-existence and eternal existence.
Well, thats a problem...
but, we need to live, we need to improve our civilization, we need to evolve, and then die.
Everything you do, has a repercussion...
Why be afraid, if its inevitable...

I am a total bitch when it comes to death. My life might not be great but it is my life, you know. I enjoy it and I really don't want that to come to an end. I mostly try not to think about death since when i really contemplate about it I am just super depressed. Usually about the thought of there never being anything else after death. I mean, that would just be, for lack of better saying, boring. When I was little this used to freak the fuck out of me to the point of tears but I suppose I have come to terms with the fact that death exists even though I am still scared of it and do not want to die.

Most, if not all of the worlds leading researches in robotics and artificial intelligence would disagree with you on this matter. Ray Kurzweil, head of A.I. R&D at Google believes it will happen within the next twenty-five to fourty years.
Either way, it's predicted that in the next 5 billion years the sun will eventually burn out. Considering today's technology and the fact that the sun is thoroughly needed for the human race to survive, unless we can find a way to either prevent the death of the sun or live without it, we will all eventually die.
Within that time-span we will have colonized many, many different solar systems. The death of the sun is not a big deal, it's probably the least likely catastrophe that would wipe out the human species, it's one star in a sea of trillions, we can find another one to use within five billion years. At the rate technology is advancing it's not hard to believe that we'll be able to venture out of our solar system within the next thousand years.

My friend, this is what i truly hope comes to be. You are correct, no matter how far fetched the idea is, humans always pull through.

Honestly I don't see myself as being able to be afraid of death.
I can dislike it, hate it, and wish I didn't have to go through it, but I can't be afraid of something that's been with me my whole life and I KNOW I will have to go through that has absolutely 0 chances of being avoided.
I think a better question is: "How do you deal with death? Be it yourself, or your family?"
By the way, I realize everything I just said may have been repeated at some point in the thread, but I don't know that it has as it's been 13 pages and I don't feel like going through it. Just my two cents.

I have attended more funerals than baby showers, so I guess I have grown a bit desensitized. I'm not really bothered by it anymore, and I don't mind dying in my 20's. I am a bit depressed, and suicidal thoughts are frequent on my daily routine, but surprisingly those factors aren't really part of my outlook. Even when I'm happy, I wouldn't mind dying abruptly, but at the same time, I would prefer to avoid it. With or without afterlife, I'm content with whatever fate I have.

I do not see myself afraid of what I know will happen. Even as an atheist, I feel no 'fear' of my own death as I know will happen with age. Enjoy life in the mean time- Maybe I might change when I'm getting closer and closer to it, but for now, no.

Often when people say they're afraid of death, they most likely will mistake it with the pain of dying. But anyways, I'm not afraid of death.

I think in my case it is not so much a fear of ceasing to live. But sadness of know that the joy in my life will be at an end. (this is of course without discussing the possibility of an afterlife)

[size=12]It really doesn't matter if I'm afraid. I'm going to die, so I'll just have to adapt whatever situation is on the other side. (If there is anything)[/h]

I am only afraid of dying young (between 20-40), once I have lived a good life I don't think I will be afraid.

Nope, not afraid of dying itself. I've spit in Death's eye once already.
I am, however, afraid of dying before I get to do everything I want to do. It's not a bucket list, new things keep coming up such as going into space. I expect to die sometime after I turn 100 because of equipment failure while doing something Really Awesome.

I will be immortal. Just need to find a way to make a very large sum of money, then I will buy immortality, Like I said before, Nano-bots, and Human Augmentation is the way to go.

Me? Im not afraid of shit. Nothing is going to happen. Just absolute Darkness. My existence will be erased from my mind and I will become nothing. Simple.

Not really. I'm really unhappy right now, and dying actually sounds preferable. I'm just too scared to do it myself. ( u _ u )

Yes I fear death. But I can understand why I fear it.
I don't believe in anything after death. I think that our existence and our conciousness is a single instance that is created by a bucketload of chemicals our parent and chance.
Right now I think my life is bloody wonderful. It's not perfect and it's relatively shitty at times, but otherwise it's bloody wonderful. Everything is building up as I want it. I talk, I laugh, I amaze others, I am amazed BY others, I am enjoying everything this world has to offer me!
What I fear, is the crushing overwhelming void of death. When I die and the people around me die, everything I've built up, all the connections I've made the moments I've shared EVERYTHING will be as if it had never existed. When I die, I won't think, I won't ponder, I won't reminisce, it's just nothing. I AM nothing.
The concept of all the splendor of living and having lived fading away, is honestly terrifying.
Note: Sorry if I sounded a bit arrogant :P, I got a bit carried away with how I felt. But post your replies!
