I would be if I had something valuable to lose in life. At this moment in my life, Death is fine.

>>730513319
I've come to accept it as an eventuality.
So I guess the answer is no.

Not afraid of death, more afraid that I'll die horribly

>>730513319
yup , big time, thats why i have gray hairs at 26

>>730513319
Nah, could do without pain though

Yes.
I enjoy life and what it brings me. As an atheist, the thought of eternal nothingness forever is horrifying. The thought that what was once my life will become purely black with no senses or feeling whatsoever, forever, is both boring and disappointing to me, that this is the result of life, and scary to me.

>>730513319
No, You see, no one's going to help you anon, because there isn't anybody out there to do it. No one. We're all just complicated arrangements of atoms and subatomic particles - we don't live. But our atoms do move about in such a way as to give us identity and consciousness. We don't die; our atoms just rearrange themselves. There is no God. There can be no God; it's ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being. An inferior being, maybe, because we, we who don't even exist, we arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the earth. We measure; we plot; we create wonderful new things. We are the architects of our own existence. What a lunatic concept to bow down before a God who slaughters millions of innocent children, slowly and agonizingly starves them to death, beats them, tortures them, rejects them. What folly to even think that we should not insult such a God, damn him, think him out of existence. It is our duty to think God out of existence. It is our duty to insult him. Fuck you, God! Strike me down if you dare, you tyrant, you non-existent fraud! It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence. Then we have a future. Because then - and only then - do we take full responsibility for who we are. And that's what you must do, anon: think God out of existence; take responsibility for who you are.

Not at all. Planning to an hero this weekend. Can't be more happier tbh.

>>730514427

>>730513595
This. I dont really want to die but Theres nothing to hang around for.

Death is imminent. You need not fear death itself, but the time of your demise.

No. Happens eventually. Just hope it's painless. Heck I'd take a bottle of pills rn just to end it all. Just don't want to go down as a fag that killed himself.

No but probably because I dont think about it. There isnt much to think about anyway.

I might already be dead.

>>730515029
Indeed you're right. That's what I originally thought. Don't know why I didn't say so. A nothingness beyond comprehension of the brain is horrific.
I think what scares me more than death itself, than losing the what I am lead to believe is the only life I'll have - is the type of person I'll be, what death will make of me, the seconds before it takes me.

After some ego deathism done by shrooms and LSD and some delusional deep-thinking from other drugs, I honestly don't give a flying shit. I'm hoping there's something more to it, some answers. But death doesn't scare me like it used to do anymore. Now it's just the end of the train station, and as long as I believe it, I think there's more beyond that train station.

>>730513319
I actually just finished "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, and one of the most common of his musings is over death.

Aurelius put it this way: if we are the product of a divine creator, we pass on to the next life. If we are the product of the natural order, we will simply perform another function of nature (death). Living is as natural as dying, it is inevitable, so there is no reason to fear it.

"Natura nihil frustra", nature does nothing in vain.

>>730513319
Its human nature to fear what we do not understand. We will never understand death because no one has told us what it's like.

Religion however, loves to tell stories about what happens. Its a mere fantasy. Truth is, some people in power were talking about how to better control their people, they rationalized that death is their ultimate fear, so what happened is they devised a whole system of dogmatic rules and agendas. These tenants and laws were to be followed exactly how they said, and if they were good, then after they died the would go to a kingdom of everlasting pleasure and happiness.
If they didn't, they would burn and suffer for eternity for not obeying.

Here we are thousands of years later.

Aside from that, its like how it was before you were born. You didn't feel anything did you? Hell, you can't even remember anything before the age of about 5, can you?

Its like going to sleep, you do it every night and you don't even realize that you simulate death. You close your eyes, lose consciousness, then wake up. You didn't feel any pain did you? Thats exactly what death is.

What people are mostly afraid of is being forgotten or not leaving a legacy after they die, which is understandable. People want to be remembered and do as much as they can before they feel as if their existence was worth nothing.

Literally everything dies, you will too. All it is is fear of change, and nature is constantly changing. It's like being afraid of going to sleep. You know it has to happen but you don't know what you'll experience - you do it anyway.

Mental disorders which always effect me and people around me. Besides the depression and social axienty and pretty much lack of interests/hobbies I think it's more of a self defence system that will cause ( knowing people will grief for a while ) less harm than if I'm alive. Even if I move to the other side of the planet, eat healthy and get some sort of girlfriend I never bad, it'll be a better idea that I will die and feel disappointment and hate almost every day. This world is just fucked up. I don't want to be apart of that system either. Each reason just makes it easier to act on. I'm done being stuck in limbo for almost 2 years.

...Girlfriend I never *Had*

>>730516764
I can barely relate. So do you fear the unexpected? do you fear what might happen after? what you might go through in the dying process? what you'll feel?

I would fear leaving this world knowing there are other worlds (not any "heaven", just other stranger works of what could be called "nature"). And then realizing that I could never come back to this one. That's the one of the only death related things I fear, it also makes me a bit sad.

The other is about not feeling personally fulfilled. I'd hate to die that way, and if I knew for a fact that my death was very close then I'd fear death...or to put it another way, I'd fear dying unfulfilled. I'm not sure if that means i fear death actually. But anon when death comes by whatever means, your dead body will be the only thing left. You might be awake when you're dying and go through the process, or you might not. But when its death time, it's all over. Unless you're immortal.

>>730520778
no

>>730520114
I think you're too hard on yourself. Suicidal people are usually in a suicidal bubble of negativity and depression, where they tend to be overly critical of themselves.

What you're going through is something millions of people can relate to, but they still manage to live fine lives. Have you tried getting professional help?

>>730513319
Yes.

>>730521073
Yes many times. Talking makes me more anxious because I realise each time what kind of disaster I am. A Friend after 20 years ditched me because he got a call from the emergency room because I tried to overdose. They asked if he was able to bring me home. He hang up several times. I never spoke to him ever again. I was on meds but they do worse. Too each their own I guess but at this point I won't turn my back towards my plan.

>>730521776
I don't think you are a disaster. If you have mental problems then those mental problems can be solved by changing your view on life and by working on your self respect.
You're valuable, and you need to stop using negative words to describe yourself.

Your life is always changing, and everything will be drastically different in a few years from now. This is not the end for you, anon. You're just going through a bad time of your life.

>>730513319
No. I'm afraid of life. The only reason that I haven't killed myself is because I fear that I will return to this world with no memory in potentially a much worse situation, like being reborn as a joyless elitist misanthrope, or Joaquin Phoenix or Rosie O'Donnell or something equally awful...

nothingness means no eternity, no forever, actual nothing.

no time
no space
no distance
no sense
no emotion
no comprehension
no you
nothing

if you fear this nothing, then you will learn that there's nothing to fear.

death is the night of all, the end of existence, thus death is.. nothing.

have no fear, anon.

Few years ago, I'd say no. I'm skeptical of that now. I guess it is more about the way you die. If I was to die being chased, I would. If I was to die fighting, I wouldn't. If I died in my sleep, I wouldn't even know.

Rest, is for philosophers and theologist to rant about.

>>730523949

From my understanding of the rules for getting into heaven..you must confess all sins. Every last one to a priest and repent/ask forgiveness right? I find it impossible since we sin just about every min of the day everyday. So how the fuck does every christian not get scared shitless about most likely going to hell?? What if you forgot an old sin. Can it be forgiven? I think heaven is just full of unborn babies, martyrs, and perfect virgins whom lived a quiet peaceful life in the country. Oh and most people whom work in a church.

Who here really thinks theyll get in to heaven??

>>730524477
>Why can't one fear the concept of nothingness? The concept of it is in itself something.
yes, but in death.. concepts cease to exist also, so in death, there's even no nothingness. You fear something based on the idea of perception, and in death you have no perception -no thought, no instruments with which to interpret and analyse, therefore no pain, no fear, no discomfort. The you that you fear to lose, exists too only as a concept -and when that concept ceases to exist, so do you. You cannot experience death, you cannot even "be" dead -therefore there's nothing to fear.

>>730524782
oh anon, it's hardly nihilism. I'm a devoutly religious man, and I truly believe that said nothingness, the end of existence, is a part of whole that we simply do not need to understand.

>>730525256
Heaven doesn't exist. Create your own while you're alive on earth and be useful towards humanity.

>>730514427
Hey man, there's a small, but significantly higher than normal chance that humanity's going to off itself WWIII style within the next two weeks. Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall for that? Stick around for a little while, you never know.

I'm a Paramedic.

I watch people die at least once a week. Sometimes several in the same shift. I'm not afraid of death. It's the one absolute we all face. My only fear is dying before I've done what I want to, because there is no god or great beyond. What I see in this world proves that fully. I also fear a painful death. I don't want my last moments to be filled with suffering.

Inb4 fedora references or triggered christfags. A world with any proper God wouldn't create some of the shit that I see. A God wouldn't let shit like child rape, Islam, Niggers or drugs into this world. Shit's fucked, yo.

You don't have to confess all sins to a priest I believe that's more to help find peace with yourself and to actually tell someone. There's a reason it's confidential if you truly pray to God and ask to be forgiven of sin even the ones you forget you've done you should be forgiven. I mean I tell God everyday I'm sorry for any evil I've done even if on accident and I truly mean it I want to do my best to bring more good than bad into this world.

>>730529439
Please explain

"So death, the most frightening of bad things, is nothing to us; since when we exist death is not yet present, and when death is present, then we do not exist.
Therefore, it is relevant neither to the living nor to the dead, since it does not affect the former, and the latter do not exist. But the many sometimes flee death as the greatest of bad things and sometimes choose it as a relief from the bad things in life. But the wise man neither rejects life nor fears death. For living does not offend him, nor does he believe not living to be something bad."

Probably, maybe. I like to imagine that the entire process of whatever was the big bang, until now, collectively, may as well represent whatever God is supposed to be. In that, you know, that would be everything, ever.

So perhaps there is a point where everything becomes a true vaccum, if ever, on top of being an almost perfect soup of energy, and that would eventually, "randomly", cascade into "God".
