Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
because its too scary, i have thought of that exact same question!. but it made me really scared, and i felt a bit down and destressed afterwards!. If you are a happy person like me, it feels horrible to think of your life ending, thats why people try not to do that!. when i thought it, it made me cry, and it made me love my family and friends even more, since it actually felt terrible!!.!.!.

As an Atheist, life is far more important to me than death, as death means nothingness!. Eternal nothingness!. Far from that being scary, it's quite comforting!. It makes me want to grab life by the horns and enjoy every second of it, as that's all I have!. So for me death is nothingness, and also nothing to be scared of!. I think people who are not scared of death find it easier to imagine their own ones!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can't imagine others' death either, but I think the reason why I can't imagine my own is because imagination depends on experience to some extent, and I don't have any experience that is comparable to that!.

Unless dying is like falling asleep!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
