Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I work in a hospital, where death is commonplace!. Death is inevitable, there is nothing we can do to prevent it!.
This doesn't phase me at all!. In fact in some respects I quite welcome it, for I wouldn't like to live forever!. It's just nicer to know that one day I can fall asleep and not have to wake up again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes and it doesn't phase me!.

Although the death of others I will never see as a reality 'til it occurs unfortunately!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I would be rather exceptional if I wasn't!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yea and I was scared at first, but I'm not anymore!. It just makes me want to live my life to the max!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

YesWww@QuestionHome@Com

yes i have realised this and it depresses me so i try not to think about it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Course I know that!.!.!.But it's not something you prepare for unless you know when you will!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm gonna die sooner or later and I'm thinking about living instead of wasting time on thinking about My death!Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes, i was being chased and i ran and ran, 'til i was just too tired!. i was on a frozen river, and i just plopped to my knees, said out loud to my late father "dad if there is a heaven and i make it, i'll see you soon" then i lay down waiting for it to catch up and finish me off!. it never came! that was last winter and i aint been afraid of nothing ever since, i'mready to meet my maker, hows about you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im mostly avoiding the reality of the situation its difficult to picture dying I dont want to die I want to keep living I read books about vampires and there immortal lives and yet they seem unhappy and wish they could live a normal span of years immortals seem always to be unhappy and it scares me because I dont believe in an afterlife yet what if I die!.!.and theres truly nothing there!.!.it scares me good question btw bravaWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes and I was quite shocked!. (It happens to other people but not to me !)!.

However I believe in God and a wonderful life hereafter so death is a processof moving from one place to another rather than the end!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes of course!.
When I reached 40 I started to think more about old age, health/illness and death!. I haven't come to terms with it yet though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course, that's why i try to enjoy every day, life is not a rehearsal!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have had that realisation!.

Is it a necessary realisation!? Not sure!.

Sometimes I wish I was still ignorant regarding my inevitable mortality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yeah i know its coming sometime but it doesnt effect my life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh I am!.!.that's news to me!.!.!.mommy this guy online says I'm gonna die!. :-PWww@QuestionHome@Com

yes,,but there we go!.!.there is no reality at all!.we are all going to die eventually!.!.happy days in your life!.!.cheers!.!.mary!.c!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yeah, i think i truly realised it one night when i was 8/9 (!?), when i realised that i was actually going to get old and die!.
it was pretty ******* scary at the time, but I've come to terms with it!.
It's just something that will happen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can't ever imagine a situation where I would die!.!.!.because it is a sensation no one alive has ever felt before, so no one can really imagine that they're going to die!. I think even if I was dying, I would be defiant to the end that I wouldn't die!. Because, I don't know, I think somewhere in my subconcious I am under the illusion that I will live forever, because I cannot predict or imagine any kind of scenario where I WOULD die!.

I would like to think I am not afraid of death!. But perhaps I am not afraid of dying peacefully, surrounded by family!. The horror of heading into the unknown, violently and unexpectedly!. I try not to think about that!.

I heard once that life is just the entrance exam!. There is something bigger and better than this!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

yup!.!.!.!.avoiding reality is impossible!.coz we have no choice!.death is must!.and accepting it makes man truthful and pious!.coz we know that after death there is heaven and hell!.that thinking makes man to do good deeds so he could get heaven !.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No mortal knows the whole of the vast reality!.
As for god, that's one thing I could not claim to know -- especially not with non-observation and illogical reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Man fears the unknown, unventured territory, what lies beyond that door of death!.!.!.

Death comes and takes us, and our spirit is released and freed!.

Death comes and takes us, only to be reborn again until we learn !.!.!. reborn as whom, what , we do not know !.!.!.

Death comes and we see a beautiful light, and enter into the heavenly state of peace !.!.!.

The ascended souls find the above here on earth, and others following death, how do I know, because my conscience says it is so, can I prove it, No, it is enough you have faith and fidelity to the cause of God, peace and love !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, and in a sense i look forward to it!. One can take control of one's own death in a variety of ways, for example by committing suicide as a protest or a work of art, or by doing so when you are at the happiest moment of your life!. Although i am very happy to be alive, i take a particular attitude to my demise by coming up with a plan!. If i am diagnosed as terminally ill, i will commit suicide in a particular manner which will be highly unusual and an expression of my personality, and having a terminal illness is therefore an opportunity!. The trouble with this is that i might die accidentally, as a result of violence or at a time when i have lost control over myself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes; I have been close to it as well, through illness!. I always assumed I didn't care!. My life often feels pointless and I am always wondering what the point of it all is!.!.!. so I assumed death would be some welcome relief, UNTIL I was so ill I did seriously nearly die!.That scared the hell out of me!.

It scares me so much because no one knows what happens when you die!. I hate unpredictability, I am scared of the unknown!. I am a creature of routine and habit (bad ones mainly!) I am a control freak and to me, death is the ultimate loss of control because you can't "decide" how, when or where you die and what happens afterwards is always going to be unknown until it happens to you and you experience it for yourself!.

I read a book by Gordon Smith the psychic barber, because I wanted some sort of "reassurance" that there is more to life than the here and now!. I kind of wanted to know there is something after!. But I am still terrified about it all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes
the moment we are born, we are dying for
foods, knowledge, love, power, money!.

I'm dying for an answer to life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Surely! I already have my insurance for the preparations, but not a plot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I used to avoid the reality years ago and thought that i would live forever, but as i have "grown up" i have accepted the fact that one day i will die!. No-one lives forever, and even though its not a very nice thing to have to think about, we each have to look at out mortality at some stage in our life,,,, just dont think about it too much tho!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i know this is going to sound really wrong but every now and then i realise that everyday that passes is another day that we are all closer to death!. i know it sounds really depressing oh well never mind life goes on for some!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
