    I don't think about it. I used to, but I don't now. I realized that life is too short and too precious to waste it worrying about death. Just live for the day and make the most out of life.

    I'm 43, I don't think about it. I'm too busy doing God's work by speaking for him and acting for him.

    Fear is a form of believing. If you believe strongly enough in that which you fear it will come to pass.

    Why are you afraid of death?

    If you want to do something really great for mankind then how about laying down your life in service as a son of God? Its the greatest thing you could ever do. Get born again and start to preach the deliverance and healing God has mnade available. Also minister that same healing and deliverance to anyone and everyone. That would be really great.

    So far in the last twenty years I have got several people born again. I have ministered to many and delivered many. I have spoken for god and loved lots of people. I have counseled many too.

    I'm quite satisfied that I have done great things for mankind, and I will continue doing so to my last breath.

    I started thinking about it when I was about 10 years old - maybe before then. Used to really think about God and death and existence and whatever. It's always been in my mind and has always been at least in the background. I think that thoughts of death are good -- it can stir the spiritual journey. I highly recommend '3 Pillars of Zen' for some good info on those who used it to pursue a spiritual experience.

    yeah, i started thinking when i was 8, so, i am more screwed than you!, hahaha, but, think, you dont have to do anything great for mankind, you only have to do whatever mission you came to do to earth, do you have children? are they good? have you been good to people in general? do you do give money to charity? your time? those things are great for mankind.

    Sponsor a child, help an older person, just be better.

    Dont be scared about dying, because do what you do, you are going to die eventually, so, hakuna matata, (it is from the lion king), that means if u cant do anything to fix something, then dont worry because theres no point for that, your worrying will get you sick and depressed and there's no good in that.

    I am always worried about dying, but dont let that spoil the time of your living. Enjoy it. and Become a better person NOW!

    And also, become a christian, so when you die, you go to heaven, and will have less to worry about dying. trust me.

    I started thinking about death when I was 9. When someone I knew died. N then I thought of the time when my parents/siblings would die. They are alive by the blessing of Almighty. But anyway, when I thought about my own death, I was scared stiff. Thinking I have sinned so much

    It comes to my mind time to time, and it has been like that from my childhood. We do not know when our time is up.

    It is a good thing if you did something great for the mankind. Make your decision about the eternal life. Do you want to be with Jesus in eternity...or not? When you decide to do business with God, He will give you your resources...and you never have to be worried or scared...He will provide for you. There is over 500 times in the Bible that "fear not".

    I think it depends on your situation. I was diagnosed with kidney disease when I was 18 and went through my death crisis then. However, a healthy person with a good life might not consider it until they are in their 60s or 70s.

    I've thought about it a lot. My first time thinking about my own death was when a friend of the family died when I was 4. It's something I'm always aware of.

    I accpeted that I will one day die a long time ago. It's silly to worry about something that could happen any moment, you just have to enjoy life while you can.
