Death doesn't scare me, but the prospect of the inconvenience and possible emotional discomfort for those I'd leave behind is a very disturbing thought.

Why worry about death? We are all going to die, some of us tomorrow, some of us in 50 years. I'm 53, so if I'm really really lucky I have some 20 odd years left.
People aren't afraid of death, what they are afraid of is the way they will die. If I go to bed tonight and die in my sleep you won't hear me complaining
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards

Freezing yourself after death may help. I'm considering singning up for that.

I don't fear death; but I'm afraid of future regret. I don't fear death; but I'm anxious that in the very last moment I felt that I wasted my life.
The idea of death awake me, several feeling which could be described as a mix of expectation, anxiety, fear, curiosity, majestic. All these feeling united in one feeling that I I'm unable to understand.blehComment

I don't want to live forever, just as long as I possibly can. After the last star goes out, it would get fairly boring.
What bothers me most about the idea of dying is that I don't get to find out what happens next. I don't mean to me, but I mean in the world, which is just so damn interesting, all that future history and discoveries I'll never see.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
