What do you fear more: Death or Failure?

[OddBeMe]

I think I fear failure more. I think it about afterwards, rather that near death experiences.

Failure

Death

Other

[zeitgeist057]

Neither one. Death is just a part of life, no point to fear it other than the basic animal fear of the unknown, which is what death is: the Great Unknown. People who fear death are afraid because no one knows what happens after we die, so they are scared it might be something bad. But it's just as likely something good, or nothing at all. We really don't and can't know. Death is a good thing, without it, there would be no end to life.

As for failure, failure is a good thing as well. We learn from failure, it is a better teacher than success. Failure makes us stronger, wiser.

I did used to be afraid of death, when I was a kid. But I thought about it and realized it was irrational.

I never fear failure and I don't fear death. But I always win, I never fail, simple I keep at it and either I win or I die trying,,,,, and then it does not matter once I'm dead. But death is nothing to fear, tell me how the fuck did you know it was something to fear,,,,, who told you? who? how did you know. May be its just one big orgasm when you die , who the fuck knows. All I know is when things get really bad for someone they jump at death, so I guess it's a release. As Hemingway, said , " Death is no more than the pinch of a tooth aich".

Failure is simply a “hypnotized” term they created to fool us. It’s an earthling feeling and it’s part of this temporarily life.
You fail when you start learning how to walk when you learn multiplication in school with friends at your job you fail in relationships etc etc! You fail at your business or maybe not having enough money it the bank took your house and you are homeless now.. so what?
Once you die is when realize fear stole your precious soul.. and time. We don’t even fear death since it’s unknown what happens after death. However if you put failure first rather than death you have failed life.

I'd say death. If I fail, I will feel bad and desperate but I can try again. Whereas if I die, there's no try again option. Besides, no one knows what happens when we die so that scares me even more.

With both there are ups and downs.

A good thing about failure is that you can always bounce back. A bad thing about it is that it can leave you feeling hopeless and upset.

A good thing about death is that after you die you will be in peace. A bad thing is that you dint really know what it's like until it happens, so there is a certain element of fear.

Personally I would imagine that death hurts more than failure, because with failure to can always bounce back, while with death you can’t.

Neither.

Failure is how you learn and grow. Thomas Edison failed 1000 times in making the lightbulb. But it's how he learned that a team, and the invention process is important.

Death is only something to fear if you have left nothing after it. It's like being a lottery winner blowing all your winnings. Then seeing you have nothing invested or left when the account runs dry.

When you learn to accept both, it's liberating.
I fear neither. I've already been through traumatic loss and major failure. Both have made me stronger and wiser, and it won't be the last time for either.
When my death comes, I'll finally get to be with her again, so I don't fear my own death either.

[Opinion Owner]

I do fear spiders though

[sheenagwapa]

failure to find my true love... be with someone who is unfaithful anf selfish basically someone who doesn't love yoy

[OddBeMe]

“True” love makes it seem fated. Don’t think the math adds right if everyone is guaranteed a lover. Lol

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I'll only live once and death will end any chance of living my life or even bouncing back from failure, if any.

[OddBeMe]

Yes but you’ll be tarnished with that failure til your dying day…

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Which is why I intend to bounce back from any failure.
For now, no tarnishes.
They've been fixed.

[OfMiceandMen]

Neither. Death is inevitable so welcome it when the time comes. As far as failure goes, it is part of life too. We learn from our failures and they are integral with who we become.

[megabamse]

I don't fear failure because failure is a lesson and it's a treasure on its own, it knowledge.

And death? Well i would be dead wouldn't i? I won't feel or think a thing at all.

[exitseven]

I have dealt with failure many times. I do not fear it. I have had a near death experience and I dealt with that too. I am more afraid of getting some fatal disease that will incapacitate me.

[Sour-rose]

Failure. Knowing I failed and this time, it's so big everyone in the world knows and I can't try again is really scary

[Adam1978]

Neither, dying is worse than being dead. That's the potential painful, stressful experience. Failure should be avoided but you learn from them.

[Sevenpointfive]

death is the end. failure can be momentary it's more fun to fail at shit than it is dying a bunch of times i would think

[Pinay_ako]

not my death but the death of my love ones. I don’t fear both for my own

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Failure. I don't fear death as I don't believe in an afterlife. I won't exist, so why be afraid of something that's probably like a long dream you can't remember?

[mobiusforniner]

Neither. Both are an inevitable part of life.

[Anonymous]

This is a hard one. But I would have to say death because it's a one time event where with failure you can fail over and over again until you get it right.

[genericname85]

death obviously. cause after failure, i can try again. not so after death.

[Djaay]

Neither.. Why would I have fear Going to Heaven? Why would I have fear getting back up from a fall and improving my stand?

[LiamJHayden]

Neither.. Raccoons. Those little suckers are nasty.

[Juxtapose]

Death clearly, because that is the end of everything.

[Shy_Steve]

Death, Because it is a certainty because we all eventually Die.
