I died once and it was so terrifying, it made me go insane. Luckily, I was reborn and all is well.

I don't think about death, you can't avoid him anyway (unless medicine progresses big time over the next decade or two ;D).....noone can escape, not even the rich and famous.

Just try to have a good time as long as you're here.

Not at all.  I have been shown Jehovah's Plan for Man, and I know that I will enjoy Eternal Life in an Earthly Paradise after Judgement Day.

I will be happy to provide anyone with more information about this.

death itself isn't scary, it's getting there that is... falling of a skyscraper, staring down the barrel of a gun, torture etc

LOL

I don't want to die instantly in a plane or auto crash (at least not until I've finished a bunch of shit on my list), but I'm not 'afraid' of death.

For those that said NO. I presume you feel you have no worth in this world?  Don't you think you'd leave some sort of impact if you lived?  It seems these rap videos promote not being afraid to die, but these are a bunch of cockroaches preaching this shit.

I answered the question based on whether I have a 'fear' of what happens to us when we die, and I don't.

Although I could always be doing more, I'd like to think that I have been a positive influence on most of the people I've ever encountered in my life.  I know a lot of people.  Even if I don't work closely with many, I still feel I'm leaving a pretty large footprint.

I'm not boasting.  I admit to being an arrogant cuss, but it's actually quite humbling to me when a person tells me that I've had some impact on their life.  I'm not worthy of any praise whatsoever, nor am I seeking it, but when all is said and done, I'd like for it to be said that I did more to help my little part of the world than I did to harm it.

well that depends on what you think happens when u die...reborn immediately, or go on a nice vacation first...some say there is nothing, but even nothing is something and what is something...

haha rapers are stupid, they just love to make videos where they appear with lot of gold, guns and bitches, but as soon as they get shot in the head they start raping about peace and love, just look at the list of all the so called "mobs" which are dead right now :)

Took me a few minutes, but I found my copy; pages have browned nicely I see. The whole book is about one guy's obsession with and his fear of death. DeLillo uses this fear as a metaphor (white noise) for all the mindless crap going on these days. Death is the great unknowable; it is the opposite of all we experience and 'know.' I guess what scared me was that he described the absence(s) so well. Guy's an amazing writer. I remember that he noted that Tolstoy (as smart as they come!) 'screamed for 3 days' at his time. Very unnerving to have such stuff in a narrative. I had to read it in small chunks.

Oh yeah.  Some book written hundreds of years later by numerous authors about some guy they never even knew, but are writing off of spook stories heard from others.  Yeah,  let me run to Borders right now.  Which section should I look under?  Science Fiction or Children's?
