I think I am but not sure. Are you scared of dying? Would you rather live young and happy than old and misersble?
 
Yes, afraid of the thought of just simply being gone forever.

Would rather live old as fuck and wicked chill.
 
Lol.. I'm too steeped in the impermanence of the Buddhist way. Read the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying... Been a practicing Buddhist for a decade...we're born and death is inevitable. Live every moment, in the moment and you'll be happy.

You can't live a happy life stressing over stuff that, in the big picture, doesn't matter, because it's all irrelevant.

Death is irrelevant. We all must succumb to it... No reason to fear it

I'll look at the book. I hate the thought of life being over :(

I don't normally stress over dying though.
 
This is actually an interesting topic...and coincidentally one that ive been exploring, researching and writing about...a book, of sorts. Not sure of the direction at this point.
Real quick- without sounding like a whackjob...in my past, i explored many different drugs; ones that opened my awareness....ok, i was hallucinating but ive seen shit that was just too real...fast forward a few years, i was involved in a car wreck...not the driver but nonetheless I was in out for roughly 5 days....in that time, my grandmother who raised me and also died shortly before my accident took me on an exploration....kindve showed me shit..what was next. Thats an entire other story in itself that i could go on and on and on...however, In summary, we are created here in this life, we learn, we educate, gain knowledge and transfer that or essentially prepare ourselves for the "whats next"...i never got a clear explanation on the what next.....still searching that one out...anyway, yes, i know, im a little out there...anyway, anybody interested on this topic, check out 'cosmic consciousness' written in the late 1800's...there are several versions under this title...all interesting in their own regard...
Ok- enough said...LEG DAY!
 
Everybody dies. If you live your life in fear your just hurting yourself. You can jump out of planes, swim with sharks, or sit at home in bubble wrap, regardless at some point it will be your time. Instead of being scared live your life to the fullest and don't waste a day, we're not promised tomorrow.
 
death is certain life is not. So death should scare you. But it does because it's a mistery. What happens after death is there life after death or recantation. If any one truely new it to be true why the fk be scare you will just evolve. Different type of people. Some army scared of death because they have nothing to live for. Death is easy life is hard. Any every situation is different death isn't all the same. I can give my life without thinking g twice about it for a loved one to die for something that you believe in make death ok. Personal experience. Almost died on lsd. N all that was going through my mind was not I'm scared to die. Was ashamed n hurt node the loved ones I was leaving behind. What they would think how this would change there lives
 
What scares me is that there might be more after death.

I want it to be over. Black. Nothing. Peace and fu(king QUIET where the universe leaves me alone... I'd like to see my wife there for some ghost sex, that's about it.

If I die and have to do more shit I'm gonna be pissed!

This is exactly right... I'm not afraid of dying.. I'm afraid of missing something... I'm afraid of not living it as hard and fast as I can until the very last second

I want to live a long full life. A couple times in life I could have been dead. You won't know what hit you if it's sudden. The exception would be cancer where you have months to think about the grave and the rotting of your flesh. I'm not afraid.I have been there.
 
Scared now? No. But.... I think if something major happened to me that would make me scared... also very interested in seeing what's on the other side!!
 
I wouldn't say I'm afraid but thinking about dying makes me depressed. When I think about my kids. When I think about how many years I might have left and how FAST the past 20 have gone by (I'm 41), then that really bums me out.
 
Agreed !!!!
