I think that everybody has a fear of the unknown and obviously death is a huge unknown! The thought of death frightens me to an extent but I also have hope of an after life with God so in a way it is kind of like having something to look forward too! Hey plus we all get to reunite with old loved ones dogs, Grandpas you name it!

The idea behind this is that when faced with a life and death situation (i.e. a foxhole with people shooting at you), people usually will pray to "whatever God may be listening" just to stay alive.  This is true because people see that their belief that there is no God simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny when your back is against the wall.

There is plenty of repeatable evidence to show that all thought stops, and your body decomposes, upon death. There is absolutely no evidence to support something further happening, though many people have come to believe this unsupported claim, often being conditioned from a very young age.\n\nMost everyone fears death to some extent, including me. Very few people can say they truly don't care whether they are alive or dead. We can only hope that those who can say this truthfully are not in a position take others with them, whether they wield political clout, are terrorists, or are simple sociopaths.

yup lots of ppl do.... in my case its a recurring phenomenon..... like a cycle or something.... and when it comes, i'm very close to ending everything.... but then something always stops me.... cos, there are lots of things in this world to live for and fewer reasons to die for.... all i can say is, take it easy on urself and stop feeling so sorry for urself.... u gotta make friends and family... and once u get them, wouldnt that be worth living for?

Whether a person chooses to take their life prematurely or not, is their decision.  As a nurse for 35 years, I have seen many people die a slow painful death, so I can understand the desire to end ones suffering.  I couldn't  do it though, because I would feel there must be a reason for me to stay on this earth a little longer.  To shorten my life,  I would become  accountable to a higher power.  The one who gave me life in the first place and really is the only one who has the right to take mine away.

I agree.  I think people that say it with out doing it are only saying it for attention.  Sorry but life is too short if your going to waste peoples time by saying things like "Oh im going to kill my self"  Then go do it i say.  People like that shit me.  You only get one chance at life, Y stuff it up over silly crap.  Nothing in this world can be so bad you want to die.  You can always seek help.  Thats how i feel bout the situation

I know at least one person who didn't want to live forever. I think most people don't want to die, which isn't exactly the same. And I'd say fear of death exists because it's evolutionarily selected; people who fear death work harder to avoid it, live longer, and have more time to possibly beget more children.

It is due to natural selection. Those of us who can breath oxygen without suffocating survive and those who can't die.

Because your intellect can not handle the process of death. We don't want your brain to explode now do we?

Because people are afraid of the unknown, and the ultimate unknown is death.\n\nThere is life after death but not they way most people see it. When I am dead worms will eat me, birds will eat the worms, and I will fly high into the sky.  We were once something else , and we will be something else again.  Do not fear.\n\nBut who I am today, my personality, my experiences, etc. will die with me.  That's what makes me special, because there will only be one me, there will only be one today, so lets make the most of it.\n\nBut if I think about it more, even who I am continues after I am gone.  The examples I set for others continue, my stories live on in the minds and voices of those I love and have shared with.  There is no death only change.  It is just hard for most people to picture and understand.\n\nHeaven and Hell are on earth, we live these and a tens of thousands of other realities every day.

NO ONE (thats the truth)....all those who stated that they will die for someone wont actually do it,those are just words.\n\nWe are all here to live....live and prove to someone that u love them.....no death will prove ur feeling!!!!

its rare that people who write dark poems and stuff kill themselves because they usually see that the world wouldnt be phased either way. one life is meaningless if they die or not, sure it may have meaning to the people they are close to, but in the end, life is nothing. sad but true.

Think that your death is just a step away from you and you could die any moment. If you know that you will die in a second, you just can't waste your time being angry to anyone or anything - it is so stupid to waste you time with such petty things in such moment :)

We have no answer to this question of why some people have to have mental or physical illness.\nMaybe they can inspire us, rather than bother us because they continue.\nMany normal people just give up on life, and many people struggle to live through each day.\nThe design of this earth and the lives here are not our own.\nSt. Paul said that here we see things through a glass darkly, but in the next life, we will see clearly.\n\nIt's good that you care.

I'm not particularly afraid of death, likely because I've faced it a few times in my life. I am, however, terrified at the prospect of losing someone I love and care about. To me, that is a far worse thing to contemplate. The loss would be too great... So in answer to your question, I'm not afraid of my own death but I am very much afraid of others dying. Perhaps this is selfish, I don't know...

Being stuck somewhere, I have an irrational fear of jumping off things, being paralysed, blind or deaf. I dont know how other people do it. growing old alone, being in a car/plane crash. Losing someone I love. As you can see im a nervous person!but you shouldnt waste your life on worrying
