RE: Fear of death

January 4, 2012 at 7:57 pm (This post was last modified: January 4, 2012 at 8:16 pm by Atharonis.)

The thought of not living, of not being aware of my existence (or rather, non-existence)... it's plain terrifying! Obviously it won't matter once I die because I won't be able to think, feel or basically do anything, but just because death is the inevitable end for me doesn't mean I have to like it.

Of course, I don't spend my days worrying about death. I have other things to think about, things that matter in the present, not the distant future when I'm old.

"There are two things that are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." ~Albert Einstein
