Fear of death

[Ace Otana]

I believe in an afterlife, however, I will not call it heaven. I call it nirvana. I believe we all have our own personal happy place to go to once we die. That's why everyone who has experienced a near-death experience sees something just a bit different that another person. It's different for all of us. But there is no god there or angels. It's a beautiful place just for us where we can see our loved ones, should we visit with each other. And I do not fear my own death. In a way I do, we all do a little, but I am not terrified at the notion like I was a few years ago. I know I will be at peace and I do not want to fear something everyone seems to be so taboo on. Something that's going to happen to each and every one of us eventually. I'm trying to research and watch things to make me less afraid of death. It's just something I really do not want to fear. I'm making some progress but hopefully I'll get there some day.

Yeah it's a nice idea but to be realistic, it's just wishful thinking. But if it gives you comfort then let loose with the wishful thinking.

Reality isn't as pleasing as you wish for it to be, it's often cold and hard. Going back into non-existence isn't so bad, you won't even be aware of it.
