There is no point fearing death, because we don't know what death is. Death of yourself is nothing, death of loved ones is what hurts.
but there lies a problem with that, if you die, you technically cant be around those you love anymore, pending on which religion you believe of course...therefore, you still feel pain.

Personally, I'm going to eat cake with extra frosting and live forever.
...and that's coming from someone who is probably older than most here. I remember Sesame Street before Snuffleupagus and Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader on the Electric Company. oooooh I'm, old.

i read in a medical journal that frosting is the fountain of youth, they just dont want anyone to know yet...
isnt this a philosophical question to start with? lifes good, no one in there right mind would give it up when old age comes around...maybe after self reliance goes away, but not certainly old age itself.

I'd rather age to death than be skinned alive, eaten alive, burned to death, drown, be sliced/grated/chopped, poisoned (assuming the poison has unpleasant effects), skewered, starved, dehydrated...
Ed: "That's no way for a man to die."
Drebin: "No.. you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine...having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go."
Wilma: "(cries) Oh... Frank. This is terrible."
Ed: "Don't you worry Wilma. Your husband is going to be alright. Don't you worry about anything. Just think positive. Never let a doubt enter your mind."
Drebin: "He's right, Wilma. But I wouldn't wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards."
Wilma: "(crys again)"
Ed: "What I'm trying to say is that Wilma, as soon as Nordburg is better, he's welcome back at Police Squad."
Drebin: "Unless he's a drooling vegetable. But I think that's only common sense..."
I don't really mind the pain part of death. Drowning or being burnt isn't that bad, it only last for 2 minutes at the most. It will be the worst two minutes of your life though and the last 2 minutes lol. By the way, I had to drown my hamster the other day, for a little guy he fought like a champ. R.I.P. Conan

I like the life I lived, because I went from negative to positive.
You know very well who you are, don't let them hold you down, reach for the stars.
Uh... Sorry. Why did you have to DROWN your hamster??? That is animal cruelty and is illegal, you know.
Second of all -> sure Drowning isn't incredibly painful, but its terrifying. (People who have drowned and then been brought back to life all testify that it was a horrifying experience). Burning, however, is incredibly painful and can last WAY longer than two minutes depending on the circumstance.
Not to mention the other things I menionted (being skinned alive, eaten alive, etc).
I haven't really tought about the whole aging thing until recently. FFS it was just summer like moment ago, now its winter going on here. Time goes so fast nowadays. I remember as a kid it used to feel like summer lasted forever and such.
So I probably fear that at one day time goes so fast that I don't have time for anything But perhaps at retirement I start to feel the opposite, "omg i wish time would go faster"

You get the idea.

To find the truth, you must risk everything.

Try spending a night alone @ sanitarium and tell me you are fearless. If you are still breathing that is.....
