Are you afraid of dying or the act of doing so?

I'm quite comfortable dying,(if I had to of course), but the actual moment rouses my curiousity lately.

I assume you mean you're comfortable with the IDEA of dying, cuz you ain't dead yet. I saw a lot of friends die during the worst years of the AIDS epidemic. I am not looking forward to it.

I also had a classic near death experience in a hospital about 20 years ago. It was actually pleasurable but I don't think it was "real" in any metaphysical way.

I'm good with the idea of dying my only "fear" is is dying a violent death, that's all.

Let me clarify, I'm not ill at all. However, I try to live life to my satisfaction knowing I could die tomorrow.

I know so many people afraid to die, that doesn;t scare me just how the actual moment will feel.

Sorry, a morbid topic, just on my mind.

My biggest fear is dieing alone without having ever experiencing that feeling of true love..... That is what scare a true hopeless romantic

There's a few people who would be really sad if I died, and since I care a lot about said people, I'd really rather stay alive. If I were without meaningful relationships though I don't think I'd mind too much for myself.

It's not so much that I'm afraid of dying... I just don't want to be there when it happens.

No, not really. I've tried to end it 3 times before. All failed. So if one has tried the act of suicide, can he really be afraid of death?

I wasn't very kind to myself in the late 90's. Multiple near death dance floor overdoses and such. Dying actually seemed pretty cool at the time, but I got over that when I came down. Now I'm not so keen on croaking. I try to enjoy every day because I know I might not get another one. When I do go though, I can't decide weather it would be cooler to die peacefully, or in some hilariously improbable fashion like a massive stroke during frenzied sex or getting crushed by a fat woman throwing herself off the top of the Sears Tower.

I'm not really afraid of death, it's that act of dying that scares me to death.

I just hope I didn't regret that one time I watched "The View."

"to die, would be an awfully great adventure"

-peter pan

i concur

Dying - I don't want to be around when that happens.

Death- If it is anything like the time before I was born or nights when don't dream I can handle it.

As for me I am hoping for robot bodies to replace organic bodies when my time is running out.

DEATH is just the termination of chemical reactions in our bodies. A mere level of elimation the conversion of chemicals into energy. Death is a part of the cycle of Life or cycle of death.

It should not be feared, but respected for it is just Nature

Lil man I am Planiing now to catch the Bus in Colorado on New Years Eve. Method covering self with Vasoline and Gas (poor man's Naplam) mixed with packets of Magnesium. Cobalt Sodium and Copper powder to give off varoius colors. Will leave a note instructing teh officals to bury waht ever is left and to notify NO ONE

I am deeply attached to the particular chemical reactions in my body that sustain my life. To anyone who has similar sentiments dying would be a hateful happening.

Not all share that feelings sorry

I have always thought that the finite nature of our existance gives it its meaning, but i doubt that will be completely consoling when the time comes.

Best method is to plan when and where. Where for me will be on the ski slopes and time will be Midnite 31 DEC

I will try

Im comfortable with it, because well technical i already have died. I had cancer and during the surgery i had a heart attack, and it took 5 minutes to revive me. i just remember seeing swirling lights, like looking inside a white tornado.

Wow, seriously?

yes i am. its something that i was at one time uncomfortable expressing but i remember it all very clearly. i was dead but God saw it fit to let me live.
