I'm more afraid of what comes after to bh

How can death be real if our lifes aren't real?

No, just curious about what happens after. I believe in heaven so I think it will be cool to see my family.

Fuck no not after the bullshit the entire world is going through right now.

I'm also a dumbass and Yahweh knows it.

Well, I mean it is the ultimate unknown, so idk. It'll happen regardless. It'll happen regardless of your belief, race, sex, your deeds, your money, your politics, your health and everything else. Nothing says we just "unbecome", yet nothing says anything at all happens. Are we just biological and chemical things that are just here or is there something else? You won't know until you die.

I do not fear death. I welcome it after a living a nice life. I don't want to exist forever. Forever is a long time and eventually existence would be suffering.

>>17336621
There is no life without death. We live purely by killing other things. Plants, animals etc

You need to stop thinking of "humans" as some magical super-conscious beings and imagine us as a cell. We are essentially just a cell.

Our best chance of passing on our genes is procreation. After that, we're basically useless.

If a baby wasn't so vulnerable we'd probably die immediately after the baby (or 2nd baby) was born. Fortunately for us, babies are shit, so we survive long enough to protect them from the environment and feed them. That's it. That's life.

All Life is a cycle. Born, eat, shit, have babies, die. Rinse and repeat until life hits some fucking "unified", "singularity".. I don't even know. What IS the point of life-forms? Why do life-forms diversify into such complex individual species in a race to survive if at the end of the day everything gets eaten and dies?

It's a catch 22 pandoras box motherfucker.

>>17336621
I'm pretty scared of actually dying, not really what happens after so much.

Like I'm scared of the pain my body will go through or the actual experience leading up to my death, like seeing a truck run head into me, screaming in shock before my body is turned to a pulp.

Everyone fears death and you can never really get over it completely. I don't fear death that much, I have an understanding of what happens to us and we will have very interesting stories to tell if only we can trace the history of our atoms.

What I do fear is living.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

This exactly. I just assume after death is nothing so I worry about what I will or wont accomplish in life because we can die at literally any time, and in so many terrifyingly different ways

I made my way home and almost died of hypothermia.

I try not to worry about the next one because I don't know anything about it.
I think I'm afraid of pain, but way more afraid of what I'll leave behind me and not having the time to do what I want, to make happy the people I want to make happy
I regularly find myself bursting into tears when I think of losing stuff as immaterial and exhilarating as love, family, nature, atoms and all that life has to something as grossly material and bland as a car's bumper. Then I usually phase out.
Anyone experience this kind of episodes ?

I've been thinking about the idea of death more and more recently, and it honestly does terrify me.

I'm at the point where how I'm going to die doesn't frighten me a great deal (though, were I to get cancer or something, and have a very long, drawn-out death, I obviously wouldn't be too enamored with the idea), just as long as I live a long and fulfilling life.
What gets to me now is the idea of nonexistence, not too dissimilar to what >>17338123 described.

I'm fairly young, and am entering into a point in my life where I'm feeling pretty content. I'm in school studying what I love, and am fairly confident about getting a job afterwards that I'll enjoy.
I've recently met a woman who, no matter how much digging and scrutinizing I do, seems to be absolutely perfect for me. After several relationships over the years, I've met someone I can see a future with; one that I'd really love to peruse.
Confidence issues are quickly becoming things of my past, and I have many hobbies and interests that keep me satisfied, intellectually and physically.
All of this together has resulted in me feeling pretty happy and optimistic. Satisfied with my life currently, as I have never been before, and I don't see it letting up any time soon.

With all of this in mind, an idea seeps into the foreground of my mind; it's all going to end. It will progress and move forward, ceaselessly, until it just stops. Me, walking around, having control of a body, a mind that can think, the world at my fingertips. It'll all be black.
What was it all for?, I wonder. Sure, I'll have made connections, perhaps bettered a community, and maybe have children that will go on and do great things; my genes will live on through them. But what about me? All of that progress and improvement I made for myself, to better myself, to be happy, all to have it just end?
No afterlife, no heaven or hell. Just nothing. Not even consciousness.

I don't want to stop thinking. The idea of not existing makes me shiver.

I know this sounds stupid but it does give a man hope. "The fundemental principle of energy states energy cannot be destroyed or created but transforms from one form to another" So in a sense we are energy and when we die we transform to another form. I guess another form can be interpreted in a number of ways.

Things are not so grim. Hear me out..

Prior to you coming into actual existence, your existence must have been 'possible.'

Were your existence necessary, you would already have existed, and were your existence impossible, you would never exist.

The 'possibility' of you existing must therefore in some sense have its own existence. Possibility cannot exist in itself, but must reside within a subject.

If an already existent matter must precede everything coming into existence, clearly nothing, including matter, can come into existence "ex nihilo", that is, from absolute nothingness.

An absolute beginning of your existence is therefore impossible.

TL;DR, You have always existed.

>>17342892

People always ask.. "Why are we here?"

Of course we're here. Where else would we be?

>>17342892
Yeah, but what about dyin?

Death is an end, not a beginning. You don't know what's on the other side, and that's where the fear enters. When you're afraid, anything seems possible. Science is there to tell us it's nothing. It's like falling asleep and then you are a carcass.

It gives me a reason to put everything I can into this life. I will be judged at the end and I do not want to go without having done anything for anybody. I will be greater than some and I will be less than some, but we all go to the same place, and I hear it's kind of boring there, to be honest.

I'm not scared, I just hope it's painless.

>>17342918
>painless.

It's probably gonna be terrifying and very painful.

Chances are it'll be a slow cancery eaten-from-the-inside bald death, or a "everybody panic I'm having a fucking heart attack" scenario where you flap around on the floor actually shitting yourself while your organs painfully shutdown through lack of Oxygen until you pass out.

Death literally doesn't exist

The world is not changing

Yes. Well when I was younger I had an emotional breakdown about death. Untill recently, my father passed away last month. Taking it extremely hard as anyone would with the death of a loved one. It has left me kind of numb to death and dying. I'm sure in time that feeling will fade. And I will be once again very scared about dying. I'm trying to enjoy life as much as my father did.

I'm afraid of dying, so basically pain and suffering. Death sounds peaceful.

I think people are more afraid of dying before they get a chance to actually live, prove themselves, found meaning, purpose, contribution and established a legacy.

Mine opportunity to reach my maximum intentional was snatched from me permanently by liars/exploiters.
This ended with PTSD, which is basically psychological death repeating over and over.

I don't think people that live accepted, worthwhile, respected and worthwhile lives fear death; for they have loved and been loved.
That itself is life, and it blossom and transmits, and carries over.

It is in their nature.Competition, social roles, social placement, arguments form report, circular reporting, stereotyping, etc…These are not just social concepts, they are forces; and people seek to maintain familiar forces and social constructs.

You make humanity sound like some sort of tool. It serves one purpose; to procreate. Well, what would be the point of endless procreation? To eventually consume the planet of its resources and turn them into shit?

There has got to be more to life than we know. We can't even replicate a machine to perform at the same standard as a human being. Yeah computers can do outstanding things, but they can't reason, make choices, or consider themselves as an entity. You have to consider how complex that truly is.

I believe a great deal of thought went into the creation of humanity, by no means did we just randomly come about. Just the fact that you exist, you in particular, think about those odds. If life didn't exist, the universe technically, wouldn't exist. It would be perceived by no one, just a giant void. Everything that could be touched, smelt, heard, tasted, or seen, would be entirely irrelevant and serve no purpose. Life is an experience, an enormous experience, for many and many to come. We were put here (my belief) to experience this life, before we move onto the next part of existance. Conception was your entrance into this life, and death is the exit,but they're not the same doorway.

Just lost my father a few months ago. I've been dwelling on death since, making it almost my life mission to figure out whether or not his consciousness transferred on. I've had some crazy things happen to me since then too, that were unexplainable. I plan to seek out a worthy medium to validate whether or not the afterlife is legit. Some people might tell me to let it go but at this point I'm not acting out of desperation, but rather interest. I hope your father is looking over you man, and I hope he's happy.

You're not.

i have severe panic attack about death almost daily.
I'm terrified of dying in a painful way, or a way where my last thoughts are fear. I'm scared of being alone when i die, i'm afraid of what's after, or what's not. Not existing scares the hell out of me.
I'm also afraid of my loved ones dying. That crushing, burning, painful, heavy lump in your chest when you hear the news, attend the funeral. thinking of the deep loneliness and sadness living without them almost drives me to tears, honestly.

My biggest fear is dying in a horrible car accident. i'm intensely afraid of cars so I don't drive, and even being in the can ratchet up my anxiety a lot.
it's such a problem, i'm trying to get on medication for these anxieties cuz they are obviously hindering my life greatly. i was a shut-in for nearly 10 years over shit like this.

Basically i don't know how to handle this very real and inevitable end for myself or the people i love.

TL;DR: kinda

It sounds like you have a very serious anxiety disorder, I hope you manage to get help for that. Find a good psychiatrist and don't understate how much it has impacted and hindered your life, you need to have them treat this as serious as it is. Some sort of therapy would also help a lot, I've had good results with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

No i don't fear death, Nothing to fear, got a long way to go before i die, even though im drastically reducing my lifespan with my smoking habit, but i've always been taught that there's two definite's in life that you'll die and that you'll get taxed, so why fear the inevitable and why not just try to make something of yourself and enjoy your life? thinking about death while you live is just fucking retarded, wait until you get late 60's before you even contemplate your death, as it comes for all of us

By realizing that all suffering is an opportunity to learn. To be mindful and seek to understand the experience. It's arising and its passing away. To gain strength and wisdom.
