How to overcome the fear of death?

[Cinjin]

well for one, a deity and the afterlife are exclusive only to eachother. One does not have to believe in god to consider all possibilities of existence.

Only religion attaches god to the afterlife. There is no reason one cannot hold to a comforting thought that his energy/consciousness/soul could possibly move onto another plain of existence or even be reincarnated. Existence after death is not an exclusive deal with theists.



Before everyone jumps on my case ... I'm not saying that this is the only way to cope with death.
Personally, I don't worry about it at all. Soul or no soul ... there's nothing I can do about it and I pay it no mind.

Why worry about things you cannot possibly control? Live well. After all, whats the alternative? A life of guilt and self-loathing. No thanks.

How to overcome fear of death?


The option of "wasting" eternety in some shit garden worshipping a narcecist psychopath, with my scrotum missing or useless, and the scotch missing or being without effect together with a whole bunch of people who I fucking hate, - makes me welcome death.

I can't imagine a greater sorrow than being in heaven for a hundred trillion years and realizing that the next hundred trillion years will equate to 2 seconds in eternity. Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying. Ironic isn't it? Death is what makes life so damn beautiful.
