Sometimes, I just sit and think and the more I think, I sort of, picture and plan my life, and when it gets to the death part I freak out. I can choose what I do in my life, I can choose what I do, where i go, who i talk to. But I don't get to choose how I die. And that scares me, not knowing if i will die in pain, die in joy, or even die in my sleep; is scary. How will I know when to say goodbye. Is it normal to be afraid to die?

    Of course it is normal to be afraid of dying, when your think about life and where it is leading you do eventually end up to the last part of the cycle - Death. But, try not to worry about how or when, life is way to short to worry or be afraid. You got to live life to the max! Do things that make you happy! Make your life exactly how you want it to be.

    Nope. You're a psychopath. Everyone accepts death.

    Most of us are conditioned to forget about that "nasty little fact called death". Honestly, and I know this sounds morbid, but it's not, if you spend a few minutes a day thinking about your death, it makes you really LIVE...talk to people with near death experiences or people dying of a terminal illness...everything becomes incredibly clear and focused when you prepare yourself for death.

    think this way. we are all just some kind of creation made up of energies. we always existed since the day the universe was born, we exist, and will always exist. life is just a very short part of our existence. we are all just part of universe continually flowing from here to there and changing forms. even now parts of us are flowing - towards us and away from us. new skin develops and old skin goes away and becomes something else.
    the greatest thing is if 'IF YOU HADNT EXISTED, THE UNIVERSE WOULDNT HAVE EXISTED' because the universe is made up you as a part of it!!! ha ha. so dont worry and enjoy life.

    I agree with NetGirl 100% even though I'm petrified about dying too. It seems an unavoidable barrier to what I want to achieve in life. And even though it is always there looming, I never do enough to counteract it. We only have a limited time to experience the rare privilege of being alive and being able to make a difference. It's over far too soon. When I see what some people do with their lives, I almost want to weep. But then I'm reminded that my life is finite too. I have no answer for you apart from try your best and do what you can. It's all you have.

    You people need God in your life's.. He is the one who created everything.. And he has a place for us after we die.. Our bodies are just shells that hold our spirits.. Trust in God, believe in him and he will bring you forever happiness..

    Remember this
    " He who does not follow in my path shall drown in everlasting darkness on the day of judgment"
