Are you afraid of dying? If so, what exactly scares you about it; on the flip side, what quells it?
Yes, I am afraid of dying, because I don't believe in an afterlife, so believe that when by body stops working I shall cease to exist. It is odd because we have all been in the position of non-existence. We all came into being with the creation of our body, none of us had an existence before conception. I have come-to-terms with this, but the realisation that I shall return to that state I find horrifying. I have found nothing that can overcome this fear.
I wrote an article you should read.

I think I have lost my fear of physical death. My question to you, sir, is: how do you know that there was no life before conception? If I may give you an idea of my perspective of the subject...you have no consciousness before the beginning of your life, but you have not been to the other side. You cannot come to terms with what you have not discovered. Relish in the mystery, my friend.

Are you afraid to die?I read a survey that most people are NOT afraid to die. Some people are not afraid of death itself but of how they are going to die, like afraid of painful, tortuous death. Some people are not afraid to die because they believe in life after death. What about...
