I wish I could be one of those who aren't scared of death. I believe it takes much faith to be able to fully understand it. Though I try, I still find it difficult to simply accept that I would one day lose the ones I truly care about.

The thought makes me want to cry, but then I know that I'd one day have to face such fear...the death of the ones I love---and my own. I fear death, but that's part of life...they say that when life ends, another one begins. Are you ready for such beginning?

No one really knows when you will die... God designed it that way for us to enjoy life... What if we all know when we will die then its not enjoyable anymore. It also helps us to be ready to die. Me im ready anytime God will take my life...

No,I am not sure whats coming next,so I will not take risk.I don't end my life now,after living almost 100 years,I will decide for that.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Jakesnake1978 (1160)   ranked 1,228 out of 2,568 in life  3 months ago

Well, just keep on living. Just keep on doing good all through your life. Just, do not take risks at all. Well, just understand this: someday unexpectedly your life will have to end, which is natural and part of life. But after death, there is new life and rebirth; the new beginning.

i really don't think about that during my life. there's no point in trying to think of that and ruining your life and depending on your thoughts of death. so, i really just try to live life to the fullest without trying to think of things like that or negative thoughts.
you will live a very happy and peaceful life in the future.


myLot reputation of 92/100. weng_08 (121)   ranked 109 out of 2,568 in life  3 months ago

Indeed. You are right. Thanks.

I dont see why so many people fear death so much. i can understand that they might feel that they are losing everythign and everyoen close to them, but your goign to meet back up with them anyway and to be honest i think that you can like see them and be with the living all the time even if yor dead.If anythign at all i think death wil bring you closer to people

Sounds good enough. No wonder you aren't scared at all. Thanks.

We must be prepared all the time, because we will never know when we are going to die. With this, we must have live life to the fullest, we must have ask forgiveness to those who we have hurt, and forgive those who have hurt us. We must have said i love you to the person we loved. We must have tried to live a rightful life. To do things in the eleventh hour is some kinda too late.


myLot reputation of 92/100. weng_08 (121)   ranked 109 out of 2,568 in life  3 months ago

Very well said...I wish I could be as brave. I agree with what you said---if we owe someone a word of thanks or appreciation, we might as well do it now. Thanks for your response.

Yes, I am afraid to die. I always have been and always will be. It's the fear of knowing that I will no longer see my family (as you have mentioned) and evrything else in this world that I have gotten so use to seeing. But another reason that I am not ready to die is because I fear the unknown, and which in this case is death.


myLot reputation of 92/100. weng_08 (121)   ranked 109 out of 2,568 in life  3 months ago

I am afraid to die, have always been, but I hope I won't always be. I hope we'd one day find such courage---one that only faith could bring about. I hope we'd one day learn what others have learned. I appreciate your honesty---and indeed you were right:it's fear of the unknown. Thanks for your response.


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (724)  3 months ago

You're welcome.

Yes, I am afraid too. I have always been afraid...

I am not ready to die because I got a lot of dreams ahead of me. However, I'm not afraid to die. It's two different thing. I'm not afraid because I know it's God will . I don't have to be so much attached in material things. I know if ever I'll pass away today, i have touched other life and I have been able to help other lessen their burden.


myLot reputation of 92/100. weng_08 (121)   ranked 109 out of 2,568 in life  3 months ago

Helping others is one good way of living life to the fullest. You seem to have found your purpose and that's what makes you ready. Thanks for your response.

oh no, not yet..Im still young and I haven't done many of the things I want done in my life yet before I die..Besides, my kids are still young and I want to see them finish their education and finally settle down with their own families..I wanna grow old with my husband and visit the memory lane hand in hand...But if my fate would be to die young, I pray to God to at least give me some warning so that I can settle some things and say the proper goodbyes..

Yes, I know how that feels. Thanks.

I think i'm too afraid of dying. I'm even got scared when i read the title of this thread!

The time i was diagnosed to have VSD (ventricular septal defect) and as they described to me what that is... I was really really afraid. I was thinking, how long will i still be living and i felt like crying. The fact that it was in the same month i got married, made me afraid that my husband will be loosing me too early.

It made me quit my job which is in a night shift. I dont really care if i quit my job,i care for my life more. I care for all the people caring for me and i still want to make them happy in my own simple way.


EZbusiness (42)  3 months ago

.... I even got scared... Sorry for the grammar. Thats what i get for too much editing. LOL


myLot reputation of 92/100. weng_08 (121)   ranked 109 out of 2,568 in life  3 months ago

I guess you are in the position to be scared, and that is normal. It is not easy to accept things like that( though I don't fully understand what VSD is), but I guess being able to express one's fear may somehow help in overcoming it. Get well soon, don't lose hope, prayers bring about miracles.
