Fear of Death

[dannerz]

What if somebody returns home and see that his house is totally burned along with his family members ? What if when he goes to the bank and see that his bank account is hacked by somebody and he loosed all his money ? What if when next day he returns to the work and knows that he is fired from the job. What if he finds that all of his friends are also ignoring him.

So many troubles at a time.
That's what death is, or even more than that one could not imagine.

When we die, we don't suffer from it. Our body changes form. The cells stop talking. It's neutrality, very different from suffering and fear, which are qualities of the living, not qualities of death. I'm not trying to contradict you, but death is peace, when you think about it. That is the most peaceful thing.

I hope, But I don't think.

you are totally ignoring the fact that human body consists of two parts,
i. physical body
ii. soul

do you have any knowledge of NDE? people see their own bodies in front of them.

Except for the fact that your above "fact" is nothing more than a bold unsubstantiated claim...

 

[Gehennaite]

From what it seems, fear of death is less about the fear of not being around, but more of the fear of how death effects things: Losing the future. The upsetting of loved ones. The fear of actually feeling death. And many other things.

What is your philosophical approach to those fears?

I have absolutely no fear of death. I've witnessed more than my fair share of reality. I've completely detached from all things - even my relationship with God. I'm not going to miss a single damn thing, but I'm not looking forward to any form of afterlife - which is why I still play this game.

Then I'd assume his friends at work purposely burned his house down and stole his money, and his boss was in on it and didn't want him catching on.
