Do you fear death?

[jr]

I fear death in the sense that there are still things I want to do and experience in this life and I don't know if I will be able to do them before I die as I don't know when I will die. That concept has started to bother me over the past few years.

Apart from that, death would be a release from this weird reality I happen to find myself in.

I didn't exist for billions of years, suddenly develop a consciousness and discover that I'm apparently a "human being" (a greatly flawed creature) living on a strange planet called "Earth" in a massive "Universe" which has certain physical properties such as "gravity", "mass" and "electrons" etc.

Humans aren't a very advanced life form if you think about it. So much potential misery and suffering. Hard to bring new children into this world knowing this.

I greatley fear dying while my children are young and not being able to be there for them and to raise them and protect them.

I fear dying

Considering that it's an absolute certainty, I find it interesting how little we actually think about it.

I ALWAYS wear my Tap Out t shirt, that way death will always be too scared to come for me.

I can tell you that there is a calm and peace during the final seconds of life.

I was driving from Arizona to L.A. to visit family. Thought I was having a severe bleeding hemorrhoid problem and even called my Doc on the cell phone to set up action once I got to L.A. in 2 hours. Suddenly I was sitting in a pool of warm blood, sharp pain in my groin and getting light headed. I pulled off the highway into a gas station and dialed 911 then my son. I remember he said "you will be OK Dad I can hear the sirens. (little did I know i was 1 mile from a Palm Springs ER room). I next remember the paramedics calling into the hospital and giving my blood pressure "60/30". They were instructed to give me a bulla high rate IV. Next I remember the ER Doc telling me I has in trouble and to make peace with my Higher Power. "I will do everything I can to save you today." I remember drifting away and the Nurse calling "Code Blue bed 7". This happened twice. I had fluids going in one arm and fresh blood in the other. My BP was almost zip. I remember the peace and calm....then ZAP I was back. "He's back" I heard. Apparently you don't remember feeling the shock of the paddles.  

After surgery with my BP stabilized I was told I had a ruptured artery (aneurysm) in my colon.

I have been given so far 3 more years on this planet and strive to do good for all who cross my path. I am grateful. I has always wondered what my last moments would be like....now I know. I still prefer life.

BTW the Doc told me that heavy lifting and squats has nothing to do with this condition.

More intrigued than scared, like what the fuck actually happens when one dies, heaven hell nothing etc.
