ARE YOU AFRAID OF DEATH....

I'm of to bed, post yea or nea, nasty remarks welcome. it matters not to me, as long as you express your thoughts on this. GN and GL.

Not for a second.

acey I'm not alone, thanks. GN

Night night.

Everyone is afraid of death it is a human instinct...I am not so sure animals do, I don't think they know what it is

If we were in great pain physical or mental we may seek death...but that is only to end the pain

I'm not afraid of death just the prospect of an undignified run up to it. Not just yet though as I still have a number of books I'd like to read first.

I agree entirely, Mr F.

Death comes for us all. The best one can hope for is to meet it swiftly and, as you say, with dignity. Like most, though, I worry more for my family than myself.

Best wishes.

Death ? No . The manner ? Possibly

Are you a kamikaze pilot?

You do not need to be afraid of death, i died 8 years ago and there is nothing, you are just not living any more, nothing to see!

Death is game over. So there's nothing to be scared about. Things change if you believe in afterlife though. Or if you have people that depend on you, like kids.

As others have pointed out, its not death itself that is scary. its the manner, or the consequences of it that make people scare of dying.

scared

The thought of death is so terrible it would be better never to be be born

The trick is to die without letting the thought of it cross your mind. its just the thought that's terrible, not death itself.

I don’t like tricks because it doesn’t change the reality

That's why you're scared of the thought of death.

Not so much.  I had a health problem that brought me close.  Practice makes perfect.

Why do people continue to do it ?
reproduce , when they know what lies ahead , it’s madness really

I would quite like Britain to be the first country in the world to put an end to the madness

And stop reproducing

Maybe the rest of the world would follow our good example

Ideally leaving only the tress and the rivers and the hills and the clouds ,
and perhaps giraffes and elephants , that’s all
That would be wonderful

We use our minds to try and restrict the true reality , ( as detraveller says)
so we don’t have a proper consciousness of life and the world and death and how terrible it really is

Not me either - part and parcel of life. However, the manner yes. I do not wish to be knifed to death or killed in a motor accident due to a prat driving recklessly and dangerously while intoxicated or drugs or drinks.

I also carry an organ donor card.

so do I

There are a few on chit chat who have no need to fear death whatsoever as they are dead from the neck up already. Just read the posts of team mexico if you want that validated.

Yes I am .I want to get my 200 pound keep warm grant off  the government before I die I don't want to go before it comes

Boxingthefox don't worry I know people have even lived to the record of 6years 6 months with exactly the same as what you've got  I hope to see your name in the next guiness annual edition of world records  just see it out for a few months and you too can hold a world record

i thought about it a lot as a child; my best friend at school woke up one day with a lump in his neck, we were both 8 & three months later he was gone from us. I asked questions continually (no answers were satisfactory) about why this happened & why not to me etc. It shaped my life really as 'normal' things that would worry a child didn't seem to bother me. I turned cold to some extent & that lasted until i was well into my teens & the love for someone else made me revaluate things. I decided to live for each day & never worry about myself; this of course drives others around me nuts & always has. I guess i'm saying i don't care about death; it's the living that bothers me

Good post bap (as usual)

Thanks for the replies guys.

Very well said.

Some people say they're afraid of dying, but not afraid of death.
Which I'll explain for those who are a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Dying can be very painful, but there's no pain once you're gone.
And people like my good self will surely get whisked off to heaven pretty pronto, where the sun is guaranteed to shine on the righteous, all-inclusive of course.

That's the spirit,

Perhaps we would be wise to adopt a Logan’s Run policy?

Enjoy a hedonistic lifestyle until thirty, before being thrown into some sort of giant orgasmatron that ***** you to death.

Possibly a vote-winner?

I must admit I feel myself being draw towards Mecca these days, on account of the virgins and stuff they get in the afterlife.
Do they supply the Viagra or do you have to bring your own?
I'm pretty sure I'd need it if I'm going to work two shifts trying to satisfy that lot.
Probably why they so hot on banning drink, worried about brewers droop I expect.

Human Beings have minds that always think ahead...but when we get to death, it is just a black wall, nothing beyond.

Whether people admit or not then we are all at least partly afraid of death

If we believe serious in any religion, we know there is an afterlife, but if anyone is an Atheist like me, tough

"I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens"

An atheist shouldn't be afraid of death. if its a black wall its a black wall. so what?
Religious folk are the ones that need to consider it more carefully. Heaven isn't guaranteed is it?

pumphol

Perhaps atheists are scared of the unknown detraveller?

If we die we cannot continue our current life any more....some of us may be attached to it.

When I was young I was afraid of dying without having sex?

I do not have that fear now since I have had it...but I remember being frightened that would happen to me.

'Dr C', behave!

Anyone experienced death and then came back to life again? Intriguing to have a sense of what's on the other side of the pearly gates.

UBLE. I have to disagree, I genuinely did not worry about it, I mentally shrugged my shoulders and thought 'fck all I can do about it' I wasn't being brave or anything just resigned to the fact that it comes to us all at some point.

As an aside I went in on a Saturday morning, I was hooked up to 2 machines that bleeped if you blinked didn't see the specialist untill Monday 11am, the whole ward was going off (bleeping)every few minutes, nursing staff just ignored it.

The specialist was accompanid by a "ward manager" (Sister) who asked can we send this patient home today!! this man is going nowhere he's very ill, came the reply. I then said can I please have some anti biotics for this pneumonia before I run out of oxygen. I was given Intravenous Antibiotics after 2 1/2 of being there, FFS.

Weekends are the deffo the worst time to be admitted. The hospital is University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire.

2 1/2 days*

I punctured my lung in March this year, I lost 2 pints of blood and spent 5 days in the intensive care unit at King's College hospital. The chief consultant said is was a 50/50 job that I had survived as I passed out after the injury for 4 hours. It was been the only time in my entire life that I felt truly frightened.

Wow slippy, sounds very traumatic, trauma is frightening, mine came with iccredible chest pain, but not traumatic like yours, no wonder you felt frightened,but we're still here. .

'SlippyBlue', did you think of the English Greyhound Derby at White city? I would...that would be my way of dealing with health issues - so far it's not needed, touch wood.

Greyhound Derby at White city, great memories, did you ever go to Park Royal Greyhound Stadium.

Humans should be Euthanized when they reach 50.

Scared of death,  only for narcissistic people,plenty of em about, .

Death is nothing to be scared of if one has a clear conscience.

True conditor

Scared is Liverpool winning the league. Cannot see it happening before I die but as a healthy 41 year old you never know.

and that’s life

As we get older death comes running

with frightening speed

It’s only frightening if you don’t embrace it , don’t worry chap the world will still turn without you and me,

I am not old yet , definitely not , but aging aging
a bit over the hill ... a little bit nervous
with the passage of time

You kill a wasp ,ant ,mouse, just to show the wife your a man, and then riggle  like a worm in bleach when it’s your turn, as posted it’s narcissism a human condition from school

There may be a god , I don’t know

But he hasnt helped anyone yet

Not a single person , isn’t that strange ?

God is always busy elsewhere bud .so no worries thier

The more I think about it the worse it gets

Oh well , we can all say a little prayer for each other

Don’t think ,that’s what the establishment wants ,just pay us money for your demise

I suppose we shouldn’t complain , each good new day is given to us it’s just there for us

maybe given by god ? I don’t know

To us good for nothings ,

Chap in 20 minutes I’m going out to get wasted coke ,jd and if I’m lucky a tart,..the world will still spin .no eggs ,beef chicken ,no **** like that

And if I drop dead .so be it ,will it hurt ,no  ,just day off

living in the fast lane conditor , gl and be careful with the marching powder

Hey anxious, how are doing,

are you doing**

conditor, I have never experimented with drugs, I have however 'tested' many distilled beverages , so I can't comment on the pluses or minuses of drugs. I have seen a good few of my friends wasted by them, I have also seen people wasted by drink.

We are lucky to live in the free West ( a mates fav saying) so can please ourselves. GL.

ok there boxing was just watching the southampton game

Hope you ok mate

Thanks.

So are you afraid of the grim reaper boxing , its life that can be tough sometimes

No not afraid, not a bit, I can't explain why I think that way.

Old Irish saying..If you worry you will die, if you don't worry you still die, so why worry.

lol yeah very true , some people do worry though thats why i am Anxious

strange though what your napper can do

We can't change our nature.

no thats true

Having Days months to Sit around Knowing the End is Nye must be dreadful ,Very hard to comprehend Even after witnessing it .

F,A matters anymore coz you wont be around to see the outcome, total loss of interest , and a breaking heart to

go with it  I have seen too much of it , and try to not think about it.. Your Born and you will die , with about 20

Minutes of Memories to cover the years in Between

I've been told my palm indicates a clear and long life line, and that's given me food for thought eg:-
1) I do not really want that (max 80)
2) I do not wish to be in a care home
3) Would that mean I'd be in pain, yet living?
4) Might I need to take unpleasant and unethical action, if ill?

I'd only want to live when I'm still an able-bodied person, and not wholly reliant on others for personal needs.
