This is the truth and yet so many people pretend to be not bothered with the prospect of dying

I'd rather be dead than be gay, bald, short, Indian, etc.

So you claim.

It's their greatest fear when faced with their imminent death or when going through the actual dying process but most people don't think about it or try their best not to, in that sense they are indeed not bothered

I'm currently not bothered truly, but if I was facing execution in 5 minutes that would change real quick if u think about it all the time and get urself shook at the thought of it ur a true coward but if u say u wouldn't be shook or scared when the time comes ur a liar

Being not bothered is a lie as well, you are just suppressing it, in reality you would think about it at Least once a day desperately trying to find a loophole, if not for suppression

Most people fear death because deep down they believe there’s nothing that comes after this life. Just lights out. That’s it.

If you think about it for too long, it’s truly unsettling.

Deeply religious people don’t typically fear death. You will even see Christians diagnosed with a terminal illness openly embracing death because they can’t wait to be with Jesus. However, it’s not the average Christian since most people naturally have doubts. It’s only the most devout who adopt this mindset.

No.. thinking about it every day is absolutely not normal lmao if u think it is u need meds m8

It freaks me the fuck out. One day you're just poof. Game over

it's just like going to sleep, except you don't wake up

Yes, that's why nearly every night I am super worried about going to sleep

Correct. Every anxiety and insecurity is a survival instinct.

We do what people expect because we want to live. We are polite because we want to live. We want to find a significant other because we want to live. We don’t express ourselves because we want to live. We work a shitty job with a shitty boss because we want to live. We give undeserving people our attention because we want to live. We stay in our comfort zone because we want to live.


I recommend dying. Dead fucking srs

I find the after life and reincarnation COPE. I'd love if it were true, but I think it's COPE.

Why?

So the fear of death is no longer an obstacle.

You're a very depressing poster.

But dying in your sleep is the best way to die. Hands down.

There are some very interesting reincarnation stories. Some very convincing.

How is it good to be found having crapped and pissed yourself in your underwear. Then fucking funeral home wagies wome and fuck up your bedroom with dirty shoes and probably chip the walls

Me too. When I was 14 I was forced to reckon with mortality because my best friend died in a freak accident. I had great-grandparents and a great-aunt who passed away before that, but they were old/sick so it was expected. A few months after my friend died I spent like a week straight ruminating over the concept of death. Thinking too hard about what it really means to no longer exist for eternity, fuarrk man it sent me into full blown panic mode.

I’ve tried to avoid thinking about it ever since then.


Some wisdom in this post as always brah. I’ll just counter that life is the most precious gift in the universe and every bit of volition we concede for the sake of survival is worth it to preserve this state of existence.

I’d rather be alive as a slave than free as a dead man.

I want to believe.

You’re probably right tho. Even though I want to be a Christian very badly, it’s so hard for me to get there intellectually. In the past few years I’ve attended church, educated myself on scripture and spent time exploring religious concepts. I’m with a woman who is a believer, so there’s a natural path right there, problem is every time I get close to accepting it, I’m overcome with doubt. Like I can appreciate the teachings of Jesus and value them above all else, but then I’ll question did he REALLY resurrect? And if not, the entire foundation of Christianity collapses. If the afterlife exists, I have to imagine it’s so far beyond human comprehension that our brains are incapable of understanding it.

Tthey're not, you just want to believe

Better than slowly dying of cancer. Where you crap your pants everyday.

There isn't a good way to die. I can't think of one. But some are worse than others.

Heart attack at whore house?

I could accept being a light skinned Indian born in a civilized country as long as none of those other traits are included

Very undignified. Perhaps heart attack when reaching the top of a mountain where no one ever comes (so not mount everest)

Knowing you're about to be badly tortured or suffer seems much worse. How you look at death itself can probably change a lot with mindset, philosophy etc and need not be the biggest fear I think.

As messed up as it is, realizing death is something every human being since the beginning of time has had to go through makes it a bit easier. Imagine if some people on earth were granted everlasting life and others had to die, lights out.

If your meant to die young it meant to be so it's no point thinking about it. There's no point fearing death cause it's gonna catch everyone whether its tommorw or in 70 years it's gonna happen.

I'm not afraid of my own death because either I won't know I'm dead because there will be nothing or I'll navigate some afterlife situation, which I'm confident will have no resemblance to heaven, hell, or any other imaginary scenario promoted by the various religions, and therefore I can't prepare for it.

What I do worry about is making sure my family is taken care of, so I focus on that rather what my absence of life might entail as a personal experience.
