Are you afraid of death?

When I was younger, especially as a child, the thought of death terrified me. As I get older I find that I'm strangely at peace with the idea.

The only thing that frightens me would be the way I day (torn apart by a bear, plane crash, etc.). But death itself no longer scares me.

Death holds no fear for me. You would be the same if you were married to my wife.

death is a customer service agent that never hangs up the phone even if you cuss at them loudly

i fear death more than death itself

We were all dead for 13.6 billion years before we were born and that never bothered us.

i see what you did there

Death is the only 100% guaranteed solution to life.

Interestingly no species has evolved in such a way to be physically and mentally in good shape when they die.

Not at the moment, but then expected death some decades away. I can't say how it will hit me, if it is much nearer.

Seeing as I have no reason to believe that my consciousness extends after my death, I won't be aware of it, so I am not scared of the prospect. I am, however, worried about enduring a long drawn out, painful, or family-savings-obliterating death. Meanwhile, I am most certainly scared of my my wife or children dying.

Not for what comes after, a little concerned about how since that can vary in degrees of pain and suffering. 🙂
