I don't care if I die. I'll either be in heaven where I'll be happy and at peace for all eternity, or I'll just not exist and therefore have no idea I'm dead.
The only reason I fear it is because of the sake of my friends and family. They need me here.

death is the gateway that we all must pass through life is nothing but the corridor it's a fact an inescapable truth that everyone dies and besides when someone dies you have memories of good times with them and if you don't then they were nothing to you in the first place

@Mjiri That's pretty insightful, but you didn't really answer the question. A lot of people have irrational fears, fear of death is one almost everyone has. I'm guessing you're not one of those people

@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 people that fear death are generally atheists as they believe that all that will happen is they cease to be and that's it

@Mjiri But if you just cease to exist your mind doesn't work so you can't feel pain, sadness, regret, etc. so even if you lived a life of torture and died a horrible death, you will have no memory of it so it doesn't really matter. Therefore, it's an illogical thing to fear

@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 but everything you have loved done thought said been and lived crumbles to dust being just a tiny speck of sand of the ever shifting dessert of time no one truly wants to be nothing which is why we all strive to do something with our lives (oh and btw this isn't my view I agree with you just saying it from the point of someone else)

@Mjiri Oh I got you, that makes a lot more sense. I guess that's just something atheists have to accept, it's a sad thing, really. I mean I'm not really strictly atheist or religious, so I guess I'll have to accept that to be a possibility at some point in my life.
Thanks a lot! Same with you, you seem a very intelligent and I like you way you look at things, you have a good perspective, an open mind.

@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 the more open your mind is the more you can take people's views and twist them to meld with your own and that way you have the power of more than one
Oh and just one thing I have a question for you is it normal that I can't think without sound for example music playing in the background or people talking in silence my heart starts racing and I feel an overwhelming urge to say something to break it

@Mjiri
I agree! I try to keep as open of a mind as possible.
I've never had that feeling, I actually love silence. Too much noise makes me feel overwhelmed, but I guess if your thoughts are more overwhelming than noise is to you, that makes sense. I don't know if it's "normal" or not though. I don't really like that word, it's very vague

Religion is a piece of metal that can be bent into a sword a fence or an instrument of peace it's all a matter of what the person wielding it wants it to be and with that I'm going to sleep see you people tomorrow

@Mjiri That's a fair analogy, but it's been used pretty poorly. Religion itself isn't causing wars, and corruption, people are. That's true. But it has still caused discrimination, and some areas of conflict just from existing.

I don't fear death because it happens to everyone no matter what ,and sometimes it comes quickly but sometimes it won't come for a while. But it's nothing to fear because everyone is effected by death, and we can't stop the power of it.
