(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just as the title states, do you think we should fear death. Personally, I do not fear it. Also for atheists (Like Myself) do you believe the idea of nothing else is something to be afraid of?

I said you should fear death, because you gotta live every day like its your last!

If you fear death you will worry about it everyday. Which isn't the way you want to live. You should enjoy life for that it is and not fear death. :y:

Death should not be feared,for every living species has a beginning and an end.
It is after all,the cycle of life.
The main purpose in life(IMHO) is to live a happy and healthy existence,treating all living creatures great and small with care and respect as we would ourselves,doing what is right by our conscience and finding peace within oneself.
Living by these principles I believe,will erase any doubts or regrets when the time does come in our lives,knowing we've done our utmost living out this life will allow us to go peacefully.

Unless you're vegetarian then that's highly hypocritical...

By that, you mean vegetables are not a living thing?

I dont believe in god or an afterlife or anything like that and I dont fear death either, death is something inevitable that will happen to every living thing in the world so might as well accept the fact that you will die at somepoint in your life, Im 17 years old now and when i was younger i used to fear dieing but now I dont anymore.... You just have to enjoy every day of your life and hope you die of old age, I fear dieing young because i wouldnt get the chance to enjoy life completely but death in general, no... In my opinion living to 90 years old would be great and enough, but if im still healthy and actually able to enjoy life at 110 Im okay with that, over 110 is too much of living in my opinion lol but than again most of us wont even get to 90 haha... Birth and death is a never ending process, new people will be born and people will die, the dead people will become part of nature, your body will be used for maggots, your corps will help create new life and im pretty sure that after the human race dies off, it will probably happen one day lol maybe another intelligent race will evolve and they'll be smart enough to use fossil fuels to power their engines or something, I bet all the cemeteries will eventually turn into fossil fuels in millions f years and your dead body will contribute to that... haha thats something to think about uhm?

I don't fear death, and I don't think it should be feared. However I think the manner in which you will die should be. I'm 20 and I don't fear death, I fear dying. I fear the process that immediately brings on death. I'm a smoker so I think about cancer. I'm joining the military so I think about a bullet to the spine. But I don't fear death it self, just the process.

nice copy and paste
