Why fear death

November 6, 2010 at 23:15 (Uncategorized)

Why do some many of us seem to fear this idea of death?
What is it about death that appears to be so scary?
Is it the thousands maybe even millions of years of brainwashing we’ve experienced about death?
with all the darkness and evil that surrounds this word.
Why do I fear death?
What’s the worst that could happen?
I won’t go to heaven.
Is there a heaven?
I won’t go to heaven or hell, is limbo such a bad place?
Or I’ll just remain in the ground where my ashes will be spread so I can become fertilizer.
What is it about death that makes it so terrifying?
Is it the loss of life that we fear?
Yet we complain so often of the pain, fear, anxiety, guilt, even over stimulation.
Would death be so bad?
Do we fear the idea of dying b/c we think it’ll hurt?
Rape
Murder
Drowning
Burning
What is it that causes the panic entangled into this fear?
the panic seems to fuel the fear making death seem less pleasurable.
Hanging from a rock ready to fall to your death and your fear is what?
Those who will miss you won’t be able to handle your death?
Unfinished business?
but at the thought of unfinished business wouldn’t you ask the question
If you lived your life to the fullest ALL the time….
would there be such thing as unfinished business???

What will take this fear of death away?
God
Myself
Friends
Family
Nothing.

Why do we fear death?
