Do you fear death?

[Scurrybt]

Personally, I’m too busy to actually care.

I don't understand why anyone would be. You're not going to know anything about it when it happens.

Death is inevitable. No one gets out of here alive. Better to just live each day like it might be your last than to dwell in perpetual fear of the memento mori. Course, it probably helps to practice maraṇasati - ruminating and thus mediating on death.

Perhaps it might be in the presence of bodies, perhaps it might be in the presence of a photo of one. Perhaps you'll ruminate on how you like all other manners of life will succumb to entropy and decay. And perhaps you'll in turn learn to accept the inevitability of death.

Just don't do anything I wouldn't do.

It's more how I'm going to die which scares me more.

Like if I was in a car accident and moments away from death, I don't want to be laying there thinking "damn, I wish I finished that book I was reading" *dies* At that point I'd be more irritated than scared.

To an extent, I am. Take what I say as a grain of salt, but I personally think religion is an existentialism coping mechanism. Buddhists believe in Nirvana, Christians believe in Heaven and Hell, Muslims believe in Jannah and so on. However, the truth is that it is unknown and will most likely stay unknown whether the afterlife bends to our beliefs or not.

What I fear is what if even reincarnation theory doesn't exist? What does it feel like to not exist for an "eternity?" Do the lights go out and everything you love, hate, admire or abhor goes away forever? Will you see your loved ones in the hereafter? Or will your consciousness be destroyed like what possibly happened to them?

Part of me hopes that I will see my dead relatives once I go, but that might turn out to be a pipe dream rather than a "reality."

You go back to being nothing. But you know what thats like, we all do. Think back to before you were born, thats what death is.

When you die you wont even know it. Thats how gentle death is.

I think there will be some point in life where one will truly experience the concept of mortality.

It can be a shocking and scary experience as you somehow realize you will disappear and there is nothing you can do about it.

Right now we're just talking because we felt nothing.... Which is good. : >

"Death is really none of my business. For when it is, I am no more, and while I am, it is not."

(Epicurus)

[Γαῖα]

Nobody ever does until they come face to face with the realisation of their own unmistakable mortality.
Only then will they evaluate the level of appreciation for their own life. Not the beating of the heart but the conscious life and all its memories they have lived up till that exact point.
Coming into existence and its expunging are but two points only given form and personal meaning by the journey taken between.

[Barney, from Black Mesa.]

I 'respect' death and accept it as part of the natural cycle of life. One shouldn't fear it, nor should one neither be a fool to not appreciate their mortality.

[Grim Reaper]

Everyone fears death, it's programmed into us.
