Do you fear death?

[Rain Man]

It's a big train coming right at us all. What do you think?

[Slayer Diablo]

Not in the least bit.

[eazyb81]

not at all, it happens to everybody whether you want it to or not. what is there to fear?

Fear itself...then again, I think fear is too overrated and no one should fear it.

[KCWolfman]

I fear the pain and would avoid it at a great cost, but I don't fear death in the least.

I remember as a pre-teen I worried about it incessantly. I just couldn't understand the justice at all. Now, I look on my life and realize that I am past the halfway point, I have raised a succesful family, and I am blessed to have lived past 20.

The next step doesn't bother me at all.

[Hammock Parties]

I fear pain.

Yep. I remember waking up and freaking out about death and what happened after that. Those kinds of thoughts led to many a sleepless night during high school.

I guess we'll know when you post a poll about how to off yourself. Hopefully everyone choose the Gaz option, although I'd hate to send him to jail for manslaughter.

Yeah, your last words have to be good...

"Give me liberty or give me death!"

"Oh yeah? I think you don't have the guts!"

"HEY YOU! Why are you sneaking around in that bank after hours?!"

"Spread my ashes over Arrowhead!"

"Piss in John Elway's next glass of orange juice for me!"

"Did I just crap myself?"

Just as long as they're not "HEY GUYS! WATCH THIS!!!!"

[Slayer Diablo]

What is it about fear? Do we fear things because of what is unknown about them, or is it because there may be pain to follow?

Both, hence my fear of alien abduction.

What's the point in taking others with you? Isn't it better to make them suffer mentally? Whenever someone says that they think I'm gonna snap and kill 'em, I don't agree...I just say that they aren't even worth the six pounds of pressure on the trigger.

[4th and Long]

I just say that they aren't even worth the six pounds of pressure on the trigger.
Ya know, if you file down the firing pin, you can reduce that amount of pressure. ;)

Of course, for why would we live if there were no concern? If there were no concern for what would happen in one area, then there would be no reason to stay...you could just pack up and move about as you please. We're meant to live it to the fullest.

My reaction before I read the thread: (despite my smartass vote), is "Yes" because I've got four kids ages 2-9 yrs old....I would feel as though I'd have cheated them if I'm not around to see their ball games, to help them through their first episode of 'puppy love,' and if I miss their graduations and weddings. Honestly. I'd be very disappointed.

OTOH, the decision is much less in my own hands, than that of the Big Guy upstairs. I don't believe in 100% destiny, but I do believe when the Big Guy is ready for you....he's gonna take you.

[C-Mac]

Sorry to get all philosophicitcal, but.........
Fear is also a form of respect and as tough as some may sound, no one hear alive and sane(can of worms) can say they have completely no fear. Those that claim so, are usually the first that are willing to compromise their own convictions to continue to live.
Even though death is a reality, it is not natural to humans or simply understood, we would accept death easier. Even if a person is suffering a painful death and feel it best for them to die, its still doesnt come natural accepting it.
As humans, we have all the instinctual burning will to live and will exhaust all energies to fight death, why, because we fear it.......
regardless of what one thinks they believe happens after death.


Some people have the fear of heights, not me .....I have a fear of widths.

[FloridaChief]

After reading through this thread, I can honestly say I no longer fear death...

[RNR]

Not really, although living is pretty cool, and I am not sure how death will stack up. I have learned not to fear things I can not control. If there is a heaven I am shooting for a D minus, the old "how bad can I fu** up and still get in.

[CrazyHorse]

At the time of this post there are 24 that say no 8 that say yes(including me). There are 3 that say Freeze my head, and 3 that say they are not self aware enough.

I am profoundly sorry for the 24 that have no quality of life to fear losing it.

You guys are so busy being full of shit thinking about how tough you are percieved, that you supremely insult everyone and everything that means anything to you in your life.

Some of us have been around long enough to have seen you tough guys whine and piss and moan over a sport to the degree that you throw a temper tantrum over football decisions that you know nothing about.

Surely you "badass mothertruckers" would have killed yourself, as death would at that time likely be the preferred choice as there is nothing worth hanging around for, except torment and unhappyness and the Hell in having to put up it.

I say kill yourselves and save on the BB resources, so some of the rest of us can get on once in awhile. ;)

Oh yeah.... and I call BS on those 24

[CosmicPal]

Normally, I would say that I don't fear death for it is inevitable. But, with a screaming train bearing down on me, I can assure you I'd do everything in my power to get out of the way- even if it meant clawing my way out of the car. Therefore, do I fear death or is it the train bearing down me I fear?

I wouldn't so much fear death if my doctor told me I had six months to live. I can assure you, I'd spend the next six months trying to fulfill the things I've always wanted to do, and see the places I've always wanted to see, and try to leave knowing my family and friends understood how much I love them and appreciate them.

But, with a train bearing down on me- I wouldn't have that luxury of saying goodbye, as well as completing unfulfilled tasks.

So, Yes, I'd be scared sh*tless watching a speeding train approach me. I wouldn't be thinking about death- I'd be wondering how it's gonna feel to be pulverized by a train. But, then again- I have no idea how I'd feel. I've been in a few situations where I felt death was imminent, but I felt a serene calm and maturity about the situation- as though I had accepted my fate, but still managed to come out alive. So, I guess what I'm saying is- I don't fear death- just fear how I'm going to die.

I worked with a guy that knew he was dying. He maxed out his cards taking gambling trips to Reno. A buddy went and visited his wife a couple of months later and she was PISSED!!! She had no clue. I thought is was great. It was his money anyway, so what if the estate was worth X thousand less.

We know he took great pleasure in pulling that off. :thumb:

I can honestly say that I do not fear death. It is the one certain thing in life, and if you hold yourself accountable to live your life to a high standard, there should be nothing in the afterlife that you should fear (assuming that your faith includes a believe in an afterlife).

I might have a fear of the actual way that I die (e.g. brutal car wreck, drowning, etc.), but I do not fear the actual element of death that we all must face at some point.

Personally, I plan on living a healthy life to a ripe old age, and not regretting a single bit of it when the time comes to pass on. This doesn't make me a "badass mothertrucker", but simply a person that has adopted a positive outlook on the inevitable.

My point wasn't that one should sit around in a hole so that death never finds them. My point was simply that I would have something to lose in death. It would also have an effect on others. For example if you have children. Surely you would not put them in harms way. For fear they may die. What if your wife/girlfriend died? What positive appraoch would you take in death there? If your parents die, kids die, friends die.

If you do not fear death, than you do not fear loss. If you dont fear loss, you are a poor man.

I embrace the day it happens...

I'm not suicidal or anything, but it's a day which should be as amazing as birth...I hope I die in the biggest explosion ever, or maybe dismemberment by chainsaw or eaten by a shark, something real disturbing and ultra-violent so people will go "OH MY GOD HOW HORRIBLE! He will be missed."

It's hard to fear something so natural IMO... As far as the Heaven Hell thing I'm thinking sin is inevitable so as long as you tried to keep it to a minimum and am sorry for the sin you caused you're good as gravy!

And Bon Scott is in Heaven, along with Sam Kinison and all those other people. I bet they caused more people to reaffirm their faith in God than anyone.

Judgement is not ours. I've never asked God how he handled the situation so really it's not my place to say.

If you do not fear death, than you do not fear loss. If you dont fear loss, you are a poor man.I hadn't looked at it that way, but it fits in my case. I have nothing at all to lose, and I leave no one behind. Although I'm not sure I'd 'fear' death any more if I did. I'd be more intent on leaving some kind of legacy or trust behind if I had a family, but death itself is a natural event that's going to come; it's inevitable. I think it's pointless to fear it.

This sounds more like the fear of death's impact on the lives of those left behind, more than fear of death itself.

[C-Mac]

What makes you so sure of that? Have you died before? If there's no hell where do you think Bon Scott went to?

Well I just used a little historical, gramatical, and scientific fact coupled with sound reasoning to be sure of it.
-Historically, the origin of the word and its concept does not originate from the original Hebrew and Greek writings of the Bible.
-God told Adam that death would be a punishment for wrong doing and would return to dust from which he came. We still do.
-If you had a pet that turned ferrel and attacked you, as punishment you would not go outside with a butane torch and burn a spot on it every day, you would simply put it to death.
-How can burning in torture for zillions upon zillions of years be fair and just punishent for just 70 years of screw ups?

I'm more than sure that there is no place of fiery torment for sinners.
