Are you afraid of death or just a meaningless death?

I am actually not afraid to die I am more afraid of the pain that it may take to get there I watched my uncle pass away from cancer I hope to just die in my sleep or instantaneously. I have just started getting my life together I have a career that I enjoy I didn't figure it out till I was 27 so you have time look at it this way people are working till 67 at your age you will probably work into your seventies so why start to young to work in the same career find yourself and what you enjoy doing no rush remember that. There is plenty of time

I've always been scared of death. Not knowing what happens afterwards terrified me when I was little; I would actually cry at night because I was so afraid of dying.

Now, I worry more about what I'll accomplish in life. It doesn't really matter what other people will think about me when I die, I just want to make a difference. I want to help people who truly need someone to reach out to them; I want to save abused and endangered animals; I want to make a difference for the planet. Obviously, I'm really into activism--I believe that everyone/everything on this planet deserves a chance. I feel like even if I accomplish all my other goals in life, none of it will matter if I don't do everything I can for others.

I am not afraid to die but I am afraid of leaving unfinished responsibilities as a daughter, a friend, a sister etc. Thinking about the moment where in theory, if I die, the effect of it on my family and the people that surround me is the scariest thought. Everyone is going to die, but to be honest, it would be even more dreadful to lose someone that I love. I'd rather die before that happens, because if I lost someone that means a lot to me, I don't think that I'll ever recover. Which is why, I always hope for the best. Which is why, I do everything I can to help anyone that I can, to influence someone, to do something good for someone else, to see others happy. Its the best feeling ever.

The best thing I can do for myself though is to finish school with my PHD. That's my dream and I hope to accomplish it before I die.

I think everyone has done something- even if it's not for the world, you may have changed another life just by being alive. By being someone's best friend, or son, or brother, you have done something for the world.

I used to be afraid of death until I lost one of my best friends in a car accident. Now I know when my time is up I will get to see her again and it will be so exciting!

I've though about this very thing some days ago. It got me thinking. I am doing something to touch other people's lives. Creating music. I DO think that's very valuable and noble, but I know there are some people who see things differently then I do, so my point is, everything you do makes a difference in some way. You might not see it as important, but it may mean the world to someone else! Do not think you're not making a difference! Chances are, you are! =)

I'm a little more worried about the fact that I don't know if there is anything AFTER death! That's what I'm afraid of! Just disappearing after I die! Evanescence and never again exist in any form! My God!



Hope I helped!

I always find myself thinking about the afterlife & what it's going to be like - heaven, etc. I'm not really afraid to die, but I wouldn't want to die a creepy death - like drowning or burning or something like that.
