i think fearing anything so inevitable such as living or dieing is pointless..my curiosity welcomes both...what i fear is being forgotten ....and my life meaning nothing but a waste of food air space matter and valuable resources for more meaningful lives
I lead a wonderful life.
I'm about to embark on a 5 week holiday to exotic places. I live 100 meters from the ocean; my life is filled with friends and intellectual stimulation. I dive and hike; have a challenging and satisfying job.
I am completely debt free, retire (if I live that long) in 7 years and am pretty well set.
My will covers my siblings, my friend's kids college educations, planned parenthood, and other charities.
I take advantage of all that life has to offer me. I have no regrets.
Pain, losing my independence, losing my mind and seeing my loved ones go before me are what worries me. Death not at all. I was born, I live and I will die. Worm food, a good way to replenish the earth and feed our ecosystem in a perfect symbiotic relation between me and the universe. It seems pretty darn good to know that I will be a part of this amazing process of regeneration... We are all part of the food chain and when it is my time, I hope to go without fear or reservation.
I'm not afraid of dying, but I am afraid of ways I could be killed. A slow, agonizing death trapped in a car, being murdered, eaten alive by a shark, hypothermia, buried alive, caught in a tornado....that sort of thing scares me!

Hmmmmm........I was all ready and willing to go..until I read this
Death doesn't scare me a bit. But living to a ripe old age, slowly getting more and more feeble, less and less mentally alert and more and more dependent on others scares the crap out of me.
Visit a nursing home sometime if you are afraid of dying. Even a painful death would be better than that in my opinion. Just get it over with!
Now, ask if years of boredom scares anyone. Death would be much nicer.
Being dead will bother me as much as how I felt before I was born. That said, I'm looking forward to being alive as long as possible! I have a good life and want it to last a while.
I'm not afraid of dying but the way that I'm going to die.
I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep than getting murdered or something bad like that.
I know lots of older people in there 80's and 90's and they're ready to go. They tell me I will feel the same way when I get to be there age.

Well, I am not quite 80 yet..But am getting thereI can't speak for all us "old "folks, but as for myself, I haven't feared death since I matured in my faith..Iam convinced of an afterlife. I don't know what it will be, because God didn't give many hints, because our human mind cannot perceive what God has planned..When you have raised your family and most of the grandchildren and can see that alls right in the family, there is a peace that comes over you that you did goodand there is no reward worth your lifetime of giving left on this earth that you desire..It seems that you have been there and done that for every conversation with the younger generation that you hear..You realize that it is true that "There is nothing new under the sun"..and also that "history repeats itself" I have made all my final plans and put them in a safe place..so that the family won't have to make those plans..In the meantime, I love life, am healthy as a horse and plan to live each day as if it were the last.. I only pray that God will allow me to keep a healthy mind and body towards the end so I can be in charge of my life..My biggest worry is that I will be a burden to the family towards the end
