I ain't hard like most of y'all NT'ers I guess. I wouldn't want to die young. I wanna have a family, accomplish something, get the job I always wanted, etc. If I went out for a good cause though I think I would be able to cope because it was worth something.

I don't think anyone is really scared of death itself...
Like most have already touched upon, it's all the stuff that surrounds it which we fear... getting ill and being in agonizing pain, a gruesome, grizzly accident, dying young without realizing our dreams, the emotional pain of leaving behind loved ones and them leaving us behind... etc.
If someone could promise that every single one of us were GUARANTEED to live out a great, happy life to 120 yrs old and die peacefully in our sleep without one moment of pain, we wouldn't sweat it.
It's the not knowing when or how it's gonna come...
THAT'S what scares us.

hmmm...no. There is a difference between rational fear of something you can control and irrational fear of something you cannot. I'm not afraid to die. It is something that is guaranteed to happen. Doesn't mean I am going to aid in my passing by being a jackass. Self preservation is an instinct in all of us. Has nothing to do with the here after. Has more to do with the here and now. No body fears dying of old age b.

I'm terrified of death. Death itself. The when doesn't matter that much to me and I really don't care how I die.
But death itself, the end of my existence, is the scariest thing I can think of.
Pain is momentary. Death is eternal.

I think my point went over your head.

So why are you scared for the end of your existence?

If you scared say you scared, ride around with Bibles.
If you knew like I knew you'd ride around with rifles.
Not afraid, but don't want to leave before I know my son is on the right path. He's six now.

Your point was that we don't fear death itself but merely the how and its effects on others.I think my point went over your head.

I don't care about the how or any of that other stuff because I'll be dead so it won't matter.
I care about no longer existing because to no longer be able to enjoy all that life has to offer scares me.
To not even be able to laugh, or feel a breeze on my skin, the touch of a woman, hear the sound of music.... it's unthinkable to me.
The feeling of the sun on my skin, air as it enters my lungs, the taste of an apple, all the little things that we take for granted.
**** I could go without everything I just listed as long as I could still think and exist. I only fear death because as far as I know it's the end of me.
If I knew there was an afterlife or that my consciousness would continue to exist after I was gone I wouldn't even stress death.

I hear ya, although I personally would have included that in the "other stuff" ...it's the feeling that you're missing out on things that scares you. But that scares me (and I would think most people) all the time now anyway. We'd all like more time to do and experience as much as possible for as long as possible.
But eternal life would be pretty boring no? What you gonna do when the earth dies, then the solar system, all the Galaxies, Super Clusters etc..
You're just going to be a consciousness floating around in space

Yeah either way we're ******. Not existing will suck but existing forever will be horrible once you're the only thing left.I hear ya, although I personally would have included that in the "other stuff" ...it's the feeling that you're missing out on things that scares you.

I'm just afraid that I'll close my eyes, and it'll be dark forever.
No after life, no nothing.
I'm a Christian (inb4 ewww ****) btw.

I'm afraid to die when I lie in bed at night, restless n pondering the infinite ways my life may turn out. But during the day, I know, at any moment, I may get caught slipping by an enemy, past or present, accident, or "act of God". Knowing I posess no control of outside forces, I don't think of it, therefore, out of sight, out of mind. So in a way, yes n no.
