Some have admitted that they are afraid, others state they don't care and many others like myself have just stated that we accept the inevitable.
What's your take on the matter?

I'm in two minds about the whole death thing. Accept death? I laugh at people who say they accept death in a "what you gonna do" manner. It's the most unfair and cruel thing ever devised, why should we be leveled with all the other scum, we don't get any rewards for being good people we just rot in a hole and pretty soon after that we are forgotten. Sometimes I feel choked by fear when I think about it, the unstoppable power that is our impending death just really makes me feel weak and feeble. I really don't think it's something that anyone can ever accept and just say "shit happens", if you have such a light-hearted approach to death then you haven't thought about it hard enough.
On the other hand death is a gift, imagine the thought of endless time stretching out in front of you, I think it would drive a man insane. After all, we all make mistakes and carry baggage, can you imagine the amount of baggage you would have if you lived for a thousand years? I'm just seventeen and I'm $#@!ing plagued by things everyday, thoughts and regrets that just follow me around.
Lets end this post on a more happy note shall we? Death makes life all the more precious, it makes everyday seem special, to know that you possess something that many people have lost. It motivates me personally, it makes me get up off the laptop and do stupid shit and have fun. It also helps me when I'm stressed out with school work and other things I just think to myself "Hey, this is nothing, you're gonna die someday asshole, so cheer the $#@! up.". You will never really accept how precious life is until you accept how precious death is, and I'm sure you'll be happy when you do.

It's scary thinking about it, but at the same time I feel I just have to accept it. There really is nothing you can do to stop it. I just hope I live a long life, dying young is the scary part. I think life is really valuable and for that same reason I would never be able to take someone else's life.

**** my Toaster !~!
Yes, I am disturbed by the thought of death. It really upsets me when I think about it. I think my problem with death comes down to religion. I have always been on the edge of the fence [so to say] when it comes to religion. I try to imagine what it would be like after I die, and there is no religion. Like my mind or my conscious being would still exist in a empty dark realm, all alone.
In reality I find it hard to think of my conscious being just disappearing. Just poof.. It is over. I like to tell myself and people that I am not tied to one religion. I believe that there may be a god or gods.. That I like to take different rules and beliefs from all religions and take them on my own. Besides the fear of nothing after life I fear that what if I am following the wrong religion?
So that is the main reason I fear the thought of death. But like others have said I fear not living a full life.

Today Will Be Different
In all honesty. I don't know what to think of death.. By that I mean we know that you won't be living.. you won't ever get to experience death or anything. So what is there to be afraid of? Are you supposed to be afraid of emptiness or what? I am afraid of dying young and not living my life to the fullest and getting to do things that I've always wanted to do. I'm sure a lot of people can agree with that and a lot of people can disagree. Some people might view death as the great pain reliever, especially people with terminal illnesses.
But at the same we are all destined to live our life and die. As Steve Jobs said.. "death is just a way to clear out the old to make room for the new." I sorta live my life like that. But that's just my thoughts on death and observations I've noticed over the last few years.

Some of my friends and I were talking about Death and how we view it.

What's your take on the matter?

Death is inevitable but YOLO doesn't give you the right to be an idiot

Only real issue I have. What gets me is that I believe that that's all that happens, but at the same time I think of how wrong I cold possibly be, if there is a such thing as a Heaven and Hell, I'm sure that I would get my place in Heaven because I'm a honest man, used to be a Christian but have taken logic over belief but who knows.
Only in death will we know but that's what I hate, I don't want to have to die to find out yet I can pull myself to believe that there is a religion which gets me back to the idea of everything I know just disappearing.
