Are you afraid of death?

@ccraft:

I hadn't heard that. It's sort of comforting, but I'm a bit skeptical. I figure if you get an arm blown off or something like that, there's probably going to be some severe pain no matter what death comfort chemicals your brain gives you.

My 90-year-old grandmother has expressed her satisfaction with life and wishes to die because her children no longer needs her.

So I guess not everyone is afraid of death.

A little, sometimes. Generally it seems less scary then life but as someone who's felt death coming close a couple of times it really starts to gnaw at me how little I actually know about it, some possibilities are certainly scary, some - are peaceful. In the end we can't change the fact that we end, so better not to think about it too deeply, no need to be scared longer then necessary.

@batwatch: I could provide you a better insight of what I'm talking about, but I'd need to re-read a few articles, I'm giving you info from my memory hehe.

Well adrenaline helps you feel less pain I believe, but I was more or less talking about if someone died of a heart attack or of old age. But then again if someone were to die of a missing arm, I'd figure they would feel peace as the brain pumps out chemicals into the brain, as they start to go drift into unconscious.

I'll be honoured to have a death by the hands of an assassin.

The question that keeps bugging me is, what happens after?

Why wouldn`t I be.

I am death

Death fears me.

You ain't Chuck Norris!

Oh yeah, you are right.

yep.

sort of

Yes

It depends on the day and what's going on in my life at the moment.
