Rebirth, only if your still attatched to the material things on the earth. If you enlighten yourself and free yourself from suffering then you will move on to nirvana. just my opinion though.
If you are enlightened you come back and help others become enlightened being enightened and staying that way and making a commentment to others IS nirvana
I don't fear death because living is just slow suicide. It's like the end of the movie. We don't want it to end, but we do wanna see how, what was our life like and what did we accomplish. I personally would LOVE to die for the sake of a loved one. I would love an actiony, interesting death, and I'll be damned if I end up choking on a grape when i'm 72 lmao. Personally I think I have lived a good, interesting life (never said anything about long haha) and if It all ended tomorrow, I think i would be at peace with it...
i always fear death, i lay in bed at night thinking about it. I always imagine horrible accidents or illnesses that may happen to me. Its awful i just wish i could be normal and get on with my life.
I use to constantly haunted every single night about this. It wasn't just a fear of me dying, it was the thought and the inescapable reality of it. It still does bother me, but I think as someone said above, the acceptance of it (or even the complete neglect of the thought itself) comes in time. It's life's harshest reality, and a hard one to come to terms with if you've allowed it to consume your life. All I can really do is accept it to the best of my ability along with a bit of wisdom to help me cope.
Occasionally, like when I'm driving on the freeway and traffic comes to a screeching halt. Otherwise the thought doesn't normally cross my mind, the fear of death, that is.
I am curious about what it is like afer so maybe I don't fear it, but I always say to myself, wait until after this time before I die, which I know is stupid
I dont fear dieing but how i go. I dont want it to be painful or like some 2012 action :$. Im scared of if ill be welcomed into Heaven and if I`ll get to live my full life or not. I dont wanna die young..<//3
I'm with coruscate, it's not death itself I fear, it's how I'm going to die that scares me. Say burning in a house fire or car accident; that would be so awful! It's smoke inhalation that kills you, actual burning doesn't. Can you imagine the pain? So horrible :(
Don't worry about it. Like many things you anticipate will be bad, but turn out ok, the anticipation of death is worse than death itself. Don't waste time worrying about what comes next either. Despite what some would have you believe, You aint coming back. When you're dead, you're dead. That's it.
I do fear death because dying is probably the worst thing that can ever happen to you. It's like you'll never ever be able to breath again. to be honest, I would prefer dying in my sleep as it is less painful then having to go through all the other types of deaths.
well, I'm not sure why but I think it's the thought that I'd stop breathing and can't do anything about it then I'll just die. nobody survives forever though
I always and will ever fear death. I've come close to death three times and each time i refused to go. It keeps me up at night sometimes. I don't think of horrible accidents. I think of ending, of just stopping. Even if I think re-carnation is real, you forget you, yourself, your soul moves on, you leave everything and everyone you love behind. I find that wrong. If i think to much on it will litteraly bring tears to my eyes. Its dipressing and never a good thing I think. I will live to my last breath and keep fighting until i can't make that choice.
i was really sick once and very tired i was dozing off i thought i was gonna die and i actually started panicking for a minute, i mean before i was like, 'as long as its not painful' or 'whatever im not gonna care afterwards' but i was still shit scared. human instinct right?
I sometimes wish i was never born. I get mad at my parents sometimes. I dont bflieve in reincarnation, because if your old personality is left then you're a new peorson. If i die and nothing happens good causd nonmatter how good heaven is, if it's eternal it has to get boring eventually, same with hell. Everything must end. That includes humanity, so while we're here we gotta make the most of it.
I don't want to die, because I don't want to leave things as they are now. I still have a lot I want to do.
But I think fearing death/being more aware of it is something that comes with age.
just my opinion though.
It still does bother me, but I think as someone said above, the acceptance of it (or even the complete neglect of the thought itself) comes in time.

If you cap me, robber, I'll become more powerful than you possibly imagine.
But I don't think about those things very much.
