I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of dying.

My main concern is for an end that painfully lingers, involves long-term degeneration, or results in some sort of helplessness. But a death that's just flip-the-switch, fade-to-black doesn't bother me at all.

Pretty much this. Main reason I'd support assisted suicide being legal for people with terminal diseases/conditions

This. Death itself will just be a return to the same nothingness that we experienced before we were born. We experienced nothing before we were born, and we will experience nothing again after we are dead. The process of actually dying though can be scary, because there are many slow and painful ways to die. That is what I actually dread most is a slow and painful death.

I am afraid of death, but I would not want to live forever, either. Both are scary to think of, but only one of those will actually happen.

Doesn't make me fear it any less...I don't want there to be nothingness. I don't want to know there's nothingness. Until I know there is something other than nothingness for sure, I will fear it. And I mostly likely won't know for sure until I die. So, I will fear it until I die.

Do you fear death?


Yes. No matter how irrational it is since I had my first panic attack(due to anxiety) I've become very aware of my own mortality where as before I didn't really give it a second thought. Now if I let myself go too far down the rabbit hole thinking about death it can cause panicky feelings so I try to not think about it.

The difference being I've actually experienced life partly now thus don't want it to end. Even more so when I've still a lot I want to get out of it. Still I guess I don't have a choice in the matter so all I can really do is think about the journey not the destination.

Depends if it's terminal or not. Even then nothing is a guarantee.

I love my sleep, too. Hard to enjoy it when you never wake up, though... I usually don't realize how much I enjoyed it until I'm awake..

Basically, this. The nothingness was ok before because I didn't exist, and because I hadn't experienced living. Now that I know what living is, why would I want to be dead and gone back to the nothingness...

The very short version of my belief is that we all live each others lives, over and over again.

Slightly longer version is....in the begging there was one entity, and it was seriously bored. I mean, the word bored doesn't come close to describing it. So it created rules and set up the universe in an explosion.

Thing is, all those rules were easy for it to figure out and everything was predictable, so yeah, still bored to tears. Even with life and tons of creatures, it was dull. So this entity basically split it's consciousness up among all thinking creatures, living each life separately and compartmentalized.

Meanwhile the laws the it created cause the universe to expand and then eventually contract, and this happened over and over again, until eventually, it fell into a pattern, expanding and contracting in exactly the same way, and over time every single thing in the universe fell into a pattern that just repeated.

So now that is where we all are, we all eventually live every single life in the pattern, which repeats over and over again and will never stop.

I'm not going door to door selling my idea, but...that is what makes sense to me.
