As an athiest I see death as the end. Because of that I am not really afriad of it, but see it as a point some time in the distance where I will no longer exist
As my mom would say, "If your time comes, then the only thing you can do is to accept it wholeheartedly" Oh gaaaaahd! I AM AFRAID OF DYING! I believe everyone in this world is afraid of death even if they deny it. I just don't want to leave in this world without making any difference. I sure have a lot of things that I wanna do as much as possible, (like finishing college, having the girl of my dreams, and have a fruitful and meaningful life) and I wanna finish them all before the Almighty takes me to His Pearly Gates.. or throw me down the Fiery Pits of Hell where my buddies are havin' a blast XDDD
I've seen a lot of death in my family and I see it somewhat in my work. After years of dealing with my feelings on this I think I am at a point were I find that I am not afraid of death itself, but the feelings that accompany death.
I hate not being able to talk with those that I knew in life and mourn their deaths. I am rational and believe that they are no longer suffering in this world regardless of where they are now. I also realize and accept that death is a natural part of life.
My own death I do worry about every once and a while, but I don't think about it often. I try to fill my life with fun and enjoyable things since I would rather "live in the moment" verses thinking about when my day is coming.
Death makes me feel sad, scared, and nervous, but in the end I think its rationale to feel that way. I just don't let those feelings take over my life, since I want to enjoy the things life has to offer.
Ah Death, one of my favorite conundrums (I hope my ramblings will be welcome)
I am afraid of death, very much that I can't stand the thought of me dying.
Heads up, a small opinionated monologue ahead, tl;dr at the end if you're too lazy or cant be bothered.
There are many different interpretations of death, the first thing that always comes to mind is losing your life, or dying. Ceasing to exist, and being a rotting carcass that will never move and talk.
But there are more different ways of interpreting it.
You being, well, not you anymore can be one. For example, when you feel like the person you are living as is not who you think you really are/were, then maybe we can classify that as death, only in the behavioral level, but you still walk, talk, eat and sleep. Its just that you do not feel that the life you are living is quite nearly not worth living at all.
Also this last interpretation I admit I got it in an Anime (Gokukoku no Brynhildr), if people, like every last person who knows you forgets about you entirely, you can consider that as death as well. Explanation: if there isn't anyone who will be able to confirm your existence, then how can you say you exist but only yourself?
TL;DR No matter what kind of death I think it is for me, I am still very scared of it, and do hope that it will not happen.
If I died right now or tomorrow, nobody would give a fuck or they probably use my death to 'up' their career or have 15 minutes of fame saying 'i knew him' or some shit.
For many people, myself included, it is not the idea of death that scares us, but the uncertainty of what follows. No matter what we say, no matter what we do, we can never truly know what waits on the other side.
