Welcome to Gaia! ::

People fear Death because they fear the unknown. Because they are unsure of what lays beyond Death they fear it.

I am not one to fear the unknown, nor do I fear Death. Death is merely transformation. It is not an end. There are no true endings or beginnings. Only change. Whether you are atheist, monotheistic, pantheistic, or agnostic you know this to be true.

When you die your body ceases to function, it then becomes raw materials for other living things and non-living formations to use. Food, nutrients and chemical components. Not gone, just transformed.

When you die your soul is released and joins the river of souls to then flow into a new body in the reincarnation cycle. The river may have changed it a little. It may have lost something or gained something or become one with the river and is seeing new experiences all over again. If one looks down the river one can see their past selves and their death and learn not to be afraid.

When you die your spirit is freed and it goes wherever it wants to go. If earthly attachments keep it captive it will wander. If it feels weighted down by guilt it will suffer. But if your spirit is light and unrestrained then there is no limit to your afterlife.

Do not be afraid of transformation. Your new self will be as wonderful and full of life as your old one.

I don't fear death because everyone eventually dies (at least at this point anyway.) I actually have a rather morbid curiousity when it comes to death and dying in history and science. I don't long for death though, I'll be happy and content to live my life as well and fully as possible until my time comes.

It's not so much death that I fear, but I fear growing old. :/ How short a time I have and how many things there are that I want to accomplish before it happens. The not knowing if I'll be able to come back in another life and try again.

That's what I fear.

It seems it's almost a waste if the spirit with in just vanishes when we die and doesn't come back. It just makes the question "is life worth it if I just disappear in the end?" more powerful

yes i am i would love to say im not like most of the other people but since im kinda paranoid i think about it to much lol

We were born.
Did I fear birth? I really don't know because I can't remember. However, I can remember dying before. I'm really sure falling into an opening in the earth and then having it close back with me inside during an earthquake was painful but I don't remember it . I only remember a snapping sound, and floating high above the earth looking down on the place where my body had been. I was mortally afraid before the actual fact when everything around me was going to hell-in-a-handbasket....but not the death itself.
It's the unknown that we fear and any pain we experience beforehand, not death itself. Where did I go after the experience? I can only describe it as away.
However, from another life I later remembered, I can say that life and death are two sides of the same coin. Death is like the flip of that coin. As I would guess birth also is. I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of living a stagnant life, a life with no growth for that would mean I'd have to live the same type of life again, and what a waste!

Eh call me cold hearted if you like or emotionless if you wish but I really do not fear death. I've seen enough of it already that I really don't care what happens to me. Eh we all gotta go sometime. Right? I look at other people and I'm all like "oh look!! their goes another rotting corps". That and I don't really grieve much. Don't see much use in it really.

To me death is just a thing that is slowly going to happen sometime in my life so i just put the thought in the back of my mind and go on with my life and to tell you the truth ideath really dont scare me at all.
