well, thats all there is to it, but its not an everyday kinda thing, its more like on occasion ill see something disturbing on tv, or so some depicted death , but more recently i saw this video of a lady who was going skydiving for the first time, and she looked super hesitant about and nervous, but eventually she goes ahead and does it, but the parachute doesnt deploy and she fell to her death. those kinds of things get me thinking on that and then i get afraid and worried because the concept of death is something that humanity doesnt know what happens afterwards...
i mean you can say you believe and god and jesus, and have "faith" but you dont KNOW for sure, thats what faith is anyway >.> being able to bielieve something without really knowing, and not everyone can do that...then again humans always have feared the unknown, so maybe it is normal, but then..i feel like im stressing of something inevitably, that most people dont think of in throughout their day
but when i think of that i wonder stuff like "am i just gonna lose consiousness and everything fade?", or "what if my lungs just stop cause im so close to dead, but im still full concious and aware of the fact that im not breathing" idk all those what ifs, stress me out and make me feel like i have to live in haste because i only have so much time before i meet a horrible end in confused bewilderment..or something like that, and this is coming from a 23 year old person whose should be too old to be afraid of stuff, but i guess im not

    If anything, I'd say you're too young to be worrying about death.

    You must give yourself to Jesus or spent eternity in hell fire! I'll pray for you....

    Everyone's going to die eventually and there's nothing we can do about it. Pushing yourself to think about death won't help either.

    It normal to fear the unknown but don't let yourself get into dead end.

    There are different ways of looking at it. I dont believe in the afterlife and yet I am not afraid of death. Instead I am fascinated by it, curious what happens after... if anything. Something else that helped me not have the fear is I find it a little pathetic when people live their entire lives fearing something every minute which is inevitable. I would rather stand in front of a barrel than resort to kneeling and squealing for me life. Which I am sure is not normal or sane behavior.

    And you would be surprised to know how many people are actually terrified to die even though they believe in the afterlife.
