How do you get over the fear of death?

GrisBosque · 2019-09-27T20:20:04+00:00

Dont worry, by the time you get old, you've put up with so much, and seen so many disgusting things done by people, that the thought of dying starts looking like a relief from all the insanity and stupidity.

DangZagnut · 2019-09-27T20:32:51+00:00

To give you some perspective.

I’ve medically “died” three times, starting when I was 8.

For me personally, shit goes white, and then nothing.

For me, there is absolutely nothing to fear. You just die.

Coming to terms with our own mortality is just part of growing up. Now be sure you invest the life you have in yourself. Then forget about it and enjoy today.

I pondered the following concept, in the past. What would be more painfull?:
1. to die after x amount of years (as it is now); or
2. to life eternally.

The 2nd option, seemed much much more painfull and scary to me. And made me appriciate the existance of death.

I can’t wait till I’m dead. What a blessed life I have lived. I always lived life on my terms except for those 5 years I was married in a LTR. I’ve slept with 100s of women. Traveled the world. I have good social experiences everywhere I go. The world is my oyster for the plucking. I think of death as sweet release. It will be just pure relaxing in the darkness in the void of the universe.

I can’t wait its going to be lit.

All you can do is live your life in such a way that when you die the world cries and you rejoice knowing you lived a life full and meaningful.

I dont feel like celebrating it.

Why not?

anyways since I base my life around my death.

That's great. Why is that great?

JohnStrangways · 2019-09-27T20:41:12+00:00

Don't worry, brother. We're all scared. Accept it and move on.

luftburen1 · 2019-09-27T20:56:02+00:00

Accept death, it’s the easiest part. I used to be scared, but nothing can stop me now when I’ve accepted the inevitable. I do everything for me and the ones I love (family and close friends).

I’ve got myself a motorcycle, and never seen myself riding one before becouse of fear. I have even crashed once, but still rides to this day. Without any second thoughts.

OP. Death is nothing to be feared. There is a reason nobody has come back from it. Death is nothing more that everything which has got nothing to do with you in the first place is taken away from you. Your name, your role, your money, your assets. It has got nothing to do with you. We get in touch with "death" every day. In our dreamless sleep. We can't remember anything about that. Except it wasn't a bad memory. Sure: neurologists will go ham on this, saying "that's the sleep phase where we store our memories, you moron!" Yet they fail to explain why there are (IIRC) 3 stages of deep sleep. If it was that simple 1 stage would be enough? REM and deep sleep. FY! We need to get in touch with the "unmanifested" regularly in order to keep sanity of the manifested.

What I am trying to say is: there is nothing to fear of death. It's inevitable. In fact all religions and medical sciences agree to this. Even if physicians will find a cure for all diseases and against aging: this sun will blow up one day. And the next, and the next a.s.o. So I humbly ask you to accept the finite of existence, OP. For me that was/ is the only way to conquer fear of death.

bassboicloutfamfire · 2019-09-27T20:47:12+00:00

I don't think you entirely get over it ever, you just learn to live with it. You must be somewhat intelligent because you don't fully believe you will be saved by a god am I right? but also the fact that there could be a hell scares you too. Personally I don't know what I believe but have what one may call existential...experiences...I'd like to think the universe is eternal and you are part of it just living this one timeline. and there are multiple timelines and realities you could live. or maybe not but yeah like everyone else says...you have no idea when you will die so just live in the moment because otherwise you will make yourself miserable. find your purpose. live around that, not the fear of death. I am right there with you though.

peguy2000 · 2019-09-27T20:52:12+00:00

I have the same fear. I still fear mortality but i try to just live a happy life since theres nothing you can do about it other than trying to maximize your quality of life

Theres this game that really hit home i played 10 years ago on the ps2. It was called persona 3 and it pretty much tackeld the same issue aswell with mortality

You are concentrating way too much on your future and your inevitable end.

"Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans."

Slow down, take a moment, breath and look around you. That there is your life.

A lot if people seem to get this idea that what they are doing now is just a struggle so they can live their actual life later. Nope.

Stop, close your eyes, breathe. Tell yourself , "this is my life", and open your eyes.

It has been said many ways; "Life is the journey, not the destination."

There is no point in planning the perfect death. You'll be dead, after all!

Instead, concentrate on enjoying your imperfect life. Or, to put it in more positive terms, your unique existence. It is the only thing that is truly yours and no one can take it from you or live it for you.

So, stop trying to live by someone else's standards. Spend time reflecting and learning what your own standards are for your life. While doing that, take a look back at what you have accomplished with more accurate standards.

Another way of summing this up that I was once told is this:

"If you keep your eyes on the peak of the mountain you will always despair at the great distance yet travelled. If you keep your eyes on your feet you will always have a sure footing despite straying from the path layed out before you. If you occasionally stop and take a moment to look behind you will be in awe of how far you have already come."

Ha! Wait until you turn 50. 😂

AlbertCohol · 2019-09-27T21:37:56+00:00

Easy. Just accept Jesus as your Lord and savior. Repent your sins and live for Him.

I ain’t afraid of nothing no more. Death? Accidents? Sickness? Pain? Torture? Demons? Devils? Bah! No biggie. “The Lord is on my side, I will not fear, what can man do to me?” (Ps 118:6)

I’m ready to die at any time. I’m just sticking around here because the Lord still needs me to finish my work, and I use my time wisely, but when my time is up and He calls me, I’m ready to go.

TigPlaze · 2019-09-27T21:46:05+00:00

When you're dead, you won't be able to experience being dead, so it will be impossible to even know that you're dead. Just like you could not experience what it was like to have not been conceived yet, you can't experience what it's like to be dead. So you might as well not worry about it. Just focus on making this life as good as you can and don't sweat the small stuff.

I just hope it’s exciting. I’d hate to die peaceful in my sleep. I want to die while banging two Asian women, while a third takes video, and my girlfriend walks in and catches me. Then I have a heart attack and die with a huge smile on my face.

I got into a bad wreck last year. I can honestly say it could've ended it all. Several months after is when I truly reflected on it. The fear of death comes from the fear of the unknown, the fear of regret, and the fear of not letting go. Mainly not letting go. Look around you, so many things we have a hard time letting go. Even our own blood and that they will die as well.

To overcome the fear of death is to know that there is a life after death, you can accept your regrets and failures and move forward, and you can truly break the chains that bind you to the Earth. Yeshua showed the way. The only man without flaw. This is the freeing of the mind, soul, and spirit. Death is only physical. When you are sleep, you're dead in a sense. This is why sleep paralysis can occur. Sleep is death's cousin. It's why people love sleep. Like death, it relieves the pains of this world.

We came into this world with nothing, and we shall leave with nothing. Many chains bind us to the Earth , and we shall eternally die if we can't break them off.

Once a man truly has overcome his fear of death, he becomes a different man. A whole different kind of alpha. A man that really is not scared of anything. However, it doesn't mean to do something dumb. He just does not bind himself to the Earth.

HotAndColdSlaw · 2019-09-27T23:43:19+00:00

Death will be a relief at this point in my life. I do not fear death.

EndTimesMartyr · 2019-09-28T02:43:47+00:00

Religion & conviction of the Creator and the hereafter.

Yolo mentality might get you the most worldly things but that will be your focus and it will only be a superficial pleasure. The soul becomes dark by only chasing after desires(could be material things for one, fame, busting a nut etc).

Only a connection with your Creator can bring peace deep down in your heart.

NathanHollister · 2019-09-28T04:03:01+00:00

I find that giving time or money to others mitigates bad thoughts like the fear of death.

You can always try to find and harness the power of the philosopher's stone, become rich and immortal.

As an ex atheist, who has seen what you would call "ufos" and also have been for a short while in the spiritual world with a demon and have heard a voice telling me that Jesus wont leave me alone, i can tell you that there is much more to this life.

Ive been looking into all kind of religions, when i was an atheist, but there is no other God like Jesus in any of those. Basically all religions are about working your way into heaven and then maybe you will be accepted by the Gods (even the so called "great" prophet mohammed didnt know if he would go to heaven), but in the bible it is God who came in flesh, to pay for your sins, that if you trust in him, you WILL go to heaven. Of course that doesnt mean that you will remain the sinner you once was, but rather you will have a changed life out of gratitude for the grace that the Lord has for you.

Go get saved, repent from your sins, confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and trust in his sacrifice for making you righteous on the day of judgemend! Oh, and study the bible.

Ive been studying the bible and i cant wait to leave this world.

This body in the bible is like a tent compared to the new body that will be like a house
God will create a new world and all the suffering of this world will be forgotten
God will create things for those who believed in him, that nobody has heard, nor dreamed of.

Personally im really excited for whats to come in the future.

Just think about a cool reincarnation instead of worrying about going into christian version of hell where they boil you alive. Now I don't really recommend indian movies but this one called "makkhi" is about a guy that gets reincarnated as a fly....really funny and cool.
