Frankly, I'm terrified of death. I'm not terrified of the unknown, but I'm terrified of the end of ME. You could read my thread in this board if you're interested. No more bad times, but no chance for any good ones, either.

Yes but you won't be aware that it's the end of you. You won't be aware of anything. You will just cease to exist and won't feel any conflict or mental torture about it, just endless peace. Same as when you fall asleep and don't dream. Or when you are under general anesthetic for surgery. Is that so bad?

I am only truly scared of the few moments before I die when I am still aware that I am going to die or even worse suffering by being burned alive, or waiting for a plane to crash or similar. Those moments are the only thing to dread, not death itself.

Honestly, I went into my thoughts in-depth in my other thread, and I would really prefer not to delve there again, especially as I've FINALLY gotten over waking up with a cold sweat at night as the thoughts hit me. Impeding progress and all that.
