Thread: Are you scared of dying?

I belive in another life after died. But i'm scared to die, zzzz

“Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is. I am not. Why should I fear that which cannot exist when I do?”

- Epicurus (341 BCE – 270 BCE)

I'm atheist too, but I would love for reincarnation to be true.

Reincarnation is true. Truer than any other belief system anyway. When you die and your body disintegrates, all the atoms that you're made of are reused to make new things. You could come back as a new house, a tree, or a brand new little baby. Anything and everything.

I think the answer depend on is there after live or no ?

Those who are born, are supposed to live their life and then to die, in different ways, that's the law of nature. So why should be afraid of something that is inevitable?

I'm not afraid of death, when it happens it just happens, and we cant do anything about it.

Talking about what will happen after death, there could be 3 different ways:
- the nonentity - when you die, your soul die with you the body disintegrates and there is no any type of after life.
- reincarnation - that means a new beginning in the life circle, and you'll be thinking about same question in your next life: "Does the afterlife exist?", because you won't remember anything from your last life.
- heaven and hell - the Judgement Day, your soul goes through it, and the divine power decides where you have to go depending how you lived your life. This is the most religious way.

Anyway, everyone is free to believe in what they want, with what idea they have been raised with. No one can proof what will happen after death, never. Everyone will see after their death.

This question, "Does the aferlife exist?" is a philosophical one, and many great ancient philosophers dealt with it, and nowadays ones still deals with it. Like the questions: "Are we alone in this Universe?", "Is mankind the only superior creatures? Are there more superior creatures than us?"

It's all philosophical, and everyone takes what they want to believe, even after life or actual one.

No I'm not and I think no one is. That's because no one is scared of dying, but the pain that one has to undergo during death. According to study (of every type), it has been learnt that there is no painless method of dying. Even if someone shoots you while you're unconscious, is going to give you pain. If there was a painless way to death, I would have not been typing this.

So are you thinking of a suicide? How can you? As I see in your avatar your young and you have a life in front of you. And as far as I know, indians are very religious people, and for them suicide, is a very grave sin.

Indians believe in reincarnation, as a way for after life... am I right?
I don't think is an option because of that, as i said in the above post, we'll never know what happens with us while surviving, and you don't have to end your life.

In my point of view, suicide is an coward action. Life is meant to be lived, no matter what.

Not being afraid of death, doesn't suppose you have to take it so suddenly.

No I'm not scared and I think that no one should be, just live and enjoy the moment:D

Im scared of death pretty much, but i try to not think about it because it just afflict me too much. If there woud be a good and helpful appliance to lengten the life or could make you undyingly, i guess i would take/use it.

I love this way of seeing life and death, really brought a smile to my face
