When I was younger, especially as a child, the thought of death terrified me. As I get older I find that I'm strangely at peace with the idea.

The only thing that frightens me would be the way I day (torn apart by a bear, plane crash, etc.). But death itself no longer scares me.

Death holds no fear for me. You would be the same if you were married to my wife.

Not scared.


The prospect of spending eternity in a physical body resurrected the way it was 2 seconds before it died, with nail holes in it, would scare me though.

We were all dead for 13.6 billion years before we were born and that never bothered us.

Death is the only 100% guaranteed solution to life.

Interestingly no species has evolved in such a way to be physically and mentally in good shape when they die.

Many are a split second before though.

Not for what comes after, a little concerned about how since that can vary in degrees of pain and suffering. πŸ™‚

Not at the moment, but then expected death some decades away. I can't say how it will hit me, if it is much nearer.

Seeing as I have no reason to believe that my consciousness extends after my death, I won't be aware of it, so I am not scared of the prospect. I am, however, worried about enduring a long drawn out, painful, or family-savings-obliterating death. Meanwhile, I am most certainly scared of my my wife or children dying.
