Life.

[zaferali]

why are humans afraid of life? You may not think so, but you are, or are you only existing? Maybe.

Its not as simple as that. The only thing I'm worried about is ending up in a bed being looked after because I can't look after myself. Most people are afraid to die.

I'm definitely not afraid of death and yes I do believe we are just existing. When we close our eyes for the last time that is it we are no more and there is nothing else.

Meh . I'm too busy enjoying this existence to worry about some esoteric question about whether or not I'm afraid to live or die. I enjoy being alive, regardless of whether or not it's an illusion or somebody else's dream. As for dying - don't give a shit one way or the other. I firmly believe that there is a life between lives where I get to review the just finished life to see what I learned and what I still need to learn. Then I'll prepare for my next life. Knowing that, I just can't be bothered worrying about life, its meaning or whether or not I'm afraid of it. Have a nice life. ​

Great way to think of it NavyRet !

And because I don't worry about living or dieing, worrying about if there is something or another life to live after this. I live a pretty much a stress free life for that reason.

PEOPLE SHOULD TRY NOT TO SCREW UP LIFE OR PEOPLE DURING THIS LIFE THEY'RE LIVING INSTEAD OF WORRYING IF THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE TO LIVE.

I agree, people are afraid to die, if not, there would be no hospitals, doctors or medicines.

There are hospitals, doctors and medicines to prevent death. I'm not afraid to die and I am also glad there these things out to extend the life I'm currently living.

I think the majority said we're not afraid to die....I am more uniquely suited to this question because my mental health and the auditory hallucinations have been explicitly involved and therefore its not my choice but I have attempted suicide multiple times and I'm still here. Even with the medication, it doesn't always stop the auditory hallucinations or the intrusive thoughts of suicide, I've just got more used to them now I wasn't afraid to live because I was...this is why I said it's not as straight forward as you would like to see it. It is far more complex than you can imagine.

 

[zaferali]

There are many reasons why some people want to live and some want to die, but in general most people try to extend life in one form or another, because no one knows what will happen after death, many people have their opinions about it, they maybe looking for some form of security for when they do die. I thought of some thing the other day that maybe a few people think of, the Sun, without it all life ends and we are living on a bomb.

[Edit] Wikipedia says..The afterlife or life after death is a purported existence in which the essential part of an individual's stream of consciousness or identity continues to exist after the death of their physical body. The surviving essential aspect varies between belief systems; it may be some partial element, or the entire soul or spirit, which carries with it personal identity. Belief in an afterlife is in contrast to the belief in oblivion after death.

In some views, this continued existence takes place in a spiritual realm, while in others, the individual may be reborn into this world and begin the life cycle over again, likely with no memory of what they have done in the past. In this latter view, such rebirths and deaths may take place over and over again continuously until the individual gains entry to a spiritual realm or otherworld. Major views on the afterlife derive from religion, esotericism and metaphysics.

[Edit] According to wiki..In a life that is meant to be composed of various stages, we set goals for each of those stages. We set deadlines for everything that we do. We have a proper timing for getting up, a proper dress code for every occasion, and a proper code of conduct for every place that we visit.

We also set various reasons for ourselves to do various tasks that we intend to do. Every company these days prepares a vision statement that outlines the goals and the basic objective for its existence.

i'm not afraid of life, it's just getting to be too much work to live. i have cancer and on chemo. i endure it due to my family and their hopes that it's going to work.
i often find myself saying "just take me". maybe i don't really mean it but it's a defensive position to keep me going. is that strange? it does to me.

chemo: if it doesn't kill ya it might cure ya....that's so funny

the drugs help; i like drugs, i'm not supposed to drink (stage 4 liver) but i do enjoy a sip now and then....i'm not gonna stop enjoying things if it gives me a smile.
funny thing is it's not the liver they are treating. blood cancer sounds so evil. how can blood get cancer?

so the question is not "why are people afraid of life"; it should be "why are people afraid of living"; or maybe tired of living. sorry for the edit.
i don't have anyone to vent to so this is a good thing.

as a resolver (thanks droid) i get enjoyment when i fill a request. it's the simple things that make a difference.
