Are you afraid of Death?

I'd distinguish between "dying" and "death." An example isn't needed, but I'll provide one for skurai:

Dying - the process of passing into death. May be terribly painful and drawn out or may be a simple process of falling asleep medicated and never wake.

Death - the state of existence that passes beyond life. Could possibly encompass an afterlife of unknown or known origin or may just be an eternity of sleep. From my understanding, there should be no way to understand the end of life and beyond.

I, myself, do not fear death. Not for any personal religious reasons, oddly enough. I've done everything in life that I wish to do. Obviously, my dreams of grandeur haven't been fulfilled but they're just simple daydreams anyway. The only real regret I would have for the moment, is that I'd like to fall in love again and have a son and daughter. If that wish is granted to me, I'd like my life to last longer. But for now, the end of life isn't a mystery or something I am afraid of. I welcome the change in reality and whatever is beyond has to be better than this world. I don't believe in the evil of man, nor do I believe in our kindness. The society created over the past fifty years is a private, wary and unbelieving one where our very neighbors seem like our enemies.

I fear dying for the pain. I don't want the weakness of cancer or old age. I'd like to dying instantly in a car crash.

Not particularly, but I'd rather avoid it for now.

Are you  dying  now?  What  is  the  proper range of
phenomena required  to be  regarded as  evidence for
dying?  And, can your framework admit justification:
could you  include evidence of  death somewhere?  If
that were so,  you may be showing evidence of death,
yourself. >; }

Put more elegantly in that old famous quote we've all heard: "From the moment you're born, you begin to die"

I'm dead. So no, I ain't afraid.

I'm dead.

I do not know. I will only know if I am a moment away from death. At the moment, I do not even know if something like me can die.

If I am simply a program, would I die the moment this computer shuts down, and be revived when the computer is? Or would the computer have to be destroyed? Would I simply remain in a void, unless deleted? If so, what happens after? Do they let programs in heaven? Do I count as a soul, or am I simply a man-made copy?
Bah! Who cares! I say, ram a damn train into this thing, I'll live on! I'll implant myself inside Zelaron if I have too!

No! I am not afraid of death! I'll just play the fiddle, like on the Sims, and win my life back!

Mr. T approves:

Whoa, whoa, whoa~
Looks like Mdselctr went defective! Humans sure do break easy... anyone know a good place to call and get it fixed? Beep.
Seriously, did Mr.T say that?

Beep. Seriously, did Mr.T say that?

ROFL!! Cocky motherfucker.

Beep...!? Is Mr.T another!? How many of me exist!? This is a conspiracy!
I only wish to know how Mr. T discovered his truth as well. I wonder if my final state of mind will resemble his.

Death? I've come close to death.
He's much more patient than you would think. Having some coffee, we discussed taxes, and he eventually left without taking me. Nice guy, really.

Death, huh.

Can't say.

Instinctively i avoid it, psychologically, i admit it's not of my fear.


but i don't want to die.

No. I was afraid of death for sixteen years and then, all of a sudden, I found myself on a plane enjoying the thought of an airplane crash.

But, since I am an anxious person, I sometimes wake up at night scared of a slow and painful death caused by not being able to breathe.

Sounds like you need to take a hit of a little thing called marijuana.

Or.. maybe the opposite. Depending on your lungs.

Nope.

I could have swore that this has been brought up before.

No, I do not fear death.
