I fear death insanely. I think about it often. I fear a painful death even more. I simply don't want to die. It scares the hell out of me. I'm 40. Can't imagine when I hit my 50s and 60s.
The best way to go is pass sometime during the night so it's peaceful. So it's like a 6 for me because I will miss all the football games on TV and no more gambling.
if you sit there and think about it all the time, I could understand your worries. But facts are facts, you, me and everyone else here and Everywhere will die eventually.
the only hope is that you don't suffer on your way
I fear not accomplishing what I want before I die.
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”― Marcus Aurelius
I go through phases. Sometimes I think about it a lot and it really bothers me, other times it doesn't even pop into my head or doesn't bother me at all. I think it's generally tied to how satisfied I am with my life at that point in time.
