Do you fear Death - No matter what your religious affiliations are - What do YOU THINK about Death?

Every human being has some sort of view on death regardless of their belief or non belief system.

Do you fear it?
**If so - why?

Do you NOT fear it?
**If not - why?

I am not asking what "god" says about death.
I am not asking what "logic" says about death.

I am asking what YOU have to say about death.

Only with regard to how my wife and son will manage without me.

I don't fear death because I am a Christian, but I think everyone has some anxieties about the unknown. I also fear how I will die. Will it be quickly, or will I suffer for a long time before death? Death is part of living and I accept it as fact, but I'm anxious to take the next step and the most important step of all - into Heaven. Hope I see you there.

This was a tough question to answer. For me personally, I do fear death for many reasons. I don't think there is anyone who can say they have never worried about dieing and leaving this world behind. I fear death because it is the unknown... there is no evidence or ways to know more about it. All we know is it's a part of life and everything ends up dieing no matter how hard they try. That's what I'm scared of, not knowing what will happen. At the same time I embrace it because it's part of life. You know its inevitable and is one of those things you eventually either accept or run from. You can't live your life worrying about it but you can appreciate every second you have here. Yeah, I fear it but at the same time I try not to and appreciate everything I can and end up not fearing it.

I do not fear it as I have already had a good life (even if it has been short) and I believe I will be reincarnated again anyway. I think death is a natural part of the world as life cannot exist without it. It is built in your mind to fear death to some extent though as it is every human's base fear- the unknown (nobody can prove what happens after death because, well, you're dead and you can't talk!).

I fear death right now because I'm only 30 years old and my "to-do" list is still unfinished. I'm just now entering my prime, and my life has just begun. Once I accomplish all my goals, I will be less afraid of dying. In the meantime, I will do my best for humanity and sow good karma. That way I will leave the world a better place in my wake. I believe that death is a part of life and that everything either ascends into heaven or is reincarnated into another form of life.
