The fear of death is a death in itself. Nope. I don't fear it

I don't fear death,
It's a mixture of beliefs and things - like the supernatural, you can't fear it that much either, but it bothers you. SO what's the point of freting over the inevitable? It's like being afraid of growing up - how...stup.....(ahem)..'strange' is that? ------------------ |

I was once married... to a woman of Sicilian heritage... I do not fear death or anything else for that matter.
Seriously, though, I figure that since death is the great equalizer, all that matters is how one lives their life. "Leave nothing undone that may be done. Leave nothing unsaid that may be said. Leave no one unloved who may be loved." As others have said, my only fear is that I may suffer, thereby causing those who may care for me to suffer. That I will not allow. ------------------ {Next time I send some damned fool, I'll go myself...} |

I do not fear my own death, tho as has been said by many, I hope not to suffer while dying.
I sometimes worry about the death of a loved one, but that is my own selfishness rearing it's ugly head. I would miss them terribly. And as Wolfgir said so well: Quote:

No, and yes.
I don't worry about what'll happen to me when I'm dead. At times I =do= worry about =how= I'll die. OTOH, whenever I've had a close call -- most often just barely avoiding an accident while driving -- I am never so glad to be alive. It's part of our nature to fight against death, but if we're lucky, it's also part of our nature to come to terms with it. A line from my favorite comic sums it up best: "The wolf fights to survive....but death, when it comes, is neither friend not enemy. It is." DP |

Iīm so glad to hear that life is better for you now. And yes, life isnīt a permanent condition, if you cling to it, possibilities are there for the taking, though it can be hard to see them and also to take them! Life is, IMHO, never to be understood, but to be lived (sorry for the phrasing but Iīm lacking the words here ok?) experienced and to be shared by thoose that mean something.. Well , most people has to find their truth of it all. And it seems that you have! *BIG WOLFIEHUG!* ------------------ Yawning lazywolf dreaming about nice little fairies...zzzzz |

No, I don't fear death. I've faced the possiblity of my eminent death on a couple of ocassions.
1st: In my youthful drug using days I had the opportunity to look down a sawed-off double barrel shot gun, one wrong move and bye-bye. 2nd: On a rainy night in a car wreak, I saw it coming realized that the car was about to hit the medium and flip. I had time to pray (no deals I know that I couldn't keep my end of the bargain), to be spared if it was His will, asked for forgiveness, and commended my soul to His hands. Then sat back and waited for whatever was going to happen. ------------------ "the memories of a man in his old age, are deeds of a man in his prime" |
