Do you fear Death?
-
I can say Yes ! I do fear death but then again I can also say No ! I don't fear it. Death comes to all, there is no escaping it. We can only hope that we die the nature way, by old age and not by some freak accident and worst like what one of you guys said, being shot. So I don't see a point worrying about something that we'll never know for certain.
I just try to make the best of whatever life that I am given before the day comes.

So you mean when you have a knee injury, you're dead?
Our government would be glad and sad at the same time. Glad because we wouldn't have an aging population. But sad 'cause we wouldn't have a population.
Just because you fear dying, doesn't make everyone fear dying.
When I've a gun pointed at my head, I fear being harmed - physically injured. But I am not afraid of dying itself. As least it's a swift death- I presume you'd never seen someone dear to you getting down with cancer, and dying in front of you day by day. -
When I first read your reply, I was thinking, "Hey, this person kind of hit the spot."Originally posted by spinsugar:Mmmm... that's common with younger, deep-thinking types who have difficulty finding people to connect with on a deeper level in sterile, superficial Singapore...... and/or haven't yet found something really worth living/fighting for (or have just lost that something). Sometimes it might feel like you're dying inside, but give urself some time... things will change when u've met more people who "get" you .. hope I'm making sense, hyuck hyuck
Then I read your nick, and realised who you were. -
i admit that i am lying if i say i do not fear death.but according to a buddhist book, we must get rid of anger and fear in order to attain nirvana. but i admit that i can't seem to get rid of that.

There's nothing to be feared from death. It's as natural a process as waking up each day until the day you leave.

If a gun was pointed to our head, we would definitely fear death. I think that it's more of the feeling of, " Why must I come to such an end ? What wrong did I do to to get in to this situation ?" Though Its only a split seconds of pain physically, the mental agony they go through in even in that split seconds is even worse.

Dear Ass,Originally posted by assfer:Dear angel7030, what do you mean nirvana is? Another thing is why do you keep replying to my post and no others Are you male or female?
You should know what is nirvana as you are the one mentioned it.
You only assume i replied to your post, I am neutral, i reply to all post as and when i like. Infact i didn't even bother to look at the nick of other as all are faceless, now then i knew i am dealing with an ass.
What does it got to do with me being a male or female or gay? Any relevancy to your Ass? -
everyone fear uncertainities. if you can overcome uncertainties and let go, it may be easier.
life is full of uncertainties but death is certain
-
yes la i am scared. but everyone have to go one day what? whether early or late.so what if u lives longer,you suffer alot if you don't have enough penny to spent,lose of family,friends etc. I would rather die then torturing

Fear the fear but not death itself

People have to stop using the word Death.
Use "The Next Step"...so much more optimistic.
"Death" is a term fashioned by the same people that vehemently proclaimed that the Earth was not round,..and that if we sailed to the ends of the earth, we would fall off the edge. Some geniuses they turned out to be

Whether it is the next step, death or the next cycle, the end, the other side etc etc it is still the same. Words are created by man, so it is obvious that the word "death" was created, same goes to car, your name, my name, your nick etc etc..there is nothing to be genius about, without words, how can we communicate? How can i comprehend your typing or posting? With it, come the standard and the system of using it in a common way that all understand and able to reciprocate in return. If u insist in a sophiscated way of using the next step, so be it, but you cannot stop others from using death, in layman term.Originally posted by Kyndred:People have to stop using the word Death.

After death is the unknown, and unknown become a mystery, a debate, a fear with lots of uncertainties, so it is not death that we fear, it is after death that bring a chill in us. -
Lol...my "beef" with the usage of the word "death" had nothing to do with "sophistication" or that coming up with words are wrong.Originally posted by angel7030:Whether it is the next step, death or the next cycle, the end, the other side etc etc it is still the same.

I used the word "optimistic" which in turn meant that the use of the word "death" has soaked in so much negativity that it is about time to be replaced...with a new word...one which instead of aiding this "fear of the unknown" will help ease the fear and remove the negative direction that it veers toward right now.
My use of the "people who viewed the world to be square" being geniuses was an attempt to show how things have to change...mentalities have to change...we can't keep sticking to the old ways just because they have been around for ages....
In a way...i guess the word "death" is also one of the marketing points of the concept of religion....if people fear the unknown...they look for reassurance that the end isn't really the end...which aids "religion" in its never ending campaign to recruit, pearly gates and all.... =p
My personal belief (not to be forced upon any who have their own beliefs) is that when we die...we become energy...and that energy is recycled....joins a collective energy and recycles itself....in that moment of joining there is a collective conciousness that knows all...sees all through every person's individual experience...
When they said " and god made men in his image" this was early man's way of comprehending that we're just "extensions" of god...and in the end we rejoin him...with answers that he might or might not know...the more answers/experiences we collect in our lifetimes...the more the collective knows...and the cycle continues...renew...rebirth...regrowth....
This also brings to light the saying "knowledge is power".
I guess i would only fear that at the point of death, i havn't experienced enough to really contribute during the "rejoining"...but then again....i/me/we/us can always try again =p -
I dun wanna die a virgin
