Are people more afraid to live than to die?

Don't be silly and take what he said totally out of context.

Death is death, and pain is pain.

There are 2 very different things.

Just because you do not fear death does not mean you won't squirm and cry in pain - that is human after-all.

Birth is the fall into evil
Death is the escape to oblivion or eternity
Depending on ones ontological nature.

I don't usually get involved in Fukushima threads (sigh) but...

Personally I don't consider that I have enough knowelege to evaluate how bad it really is.

To the OP I would counter with the question: what is it you think people should do? Do you think something can/should be done that is not being done?

I am no more afraid to die; than I was of being born.

lmfao!.....you got me, touche! haha!

Actually, im fair sure he had the option to die at will as all ascended beings do. But no, he chose to live the human life to its fullest, including death.


You, my friend, just made my day.

You friend, just made my day.

dying is nothing

in fact, it is something to look forward to

The first shot and the last shot were fired long, long ago, the war is as good as over:

Thread: What happens to the OTHER nuclear power plants when Japan is evacuated?

Live, most people just settle and give up on dreams

Beautiful.

Out of context? There was no context, just one sentence posted by itself.

Lol. So true!!! You always make me smile.

If there was an awake and aware world populace that wanted to live...

Thread: Fukushima: Worldwide STRIKE until TEPCO is gone!

Shut down the world economy and there would be action by the governments of the world to rectify the situation as best they could!

I think that depends on the conditions of death.

I think we're being given time before the end to get right with our creator.

People are just to sick of living in this world of lies, full of hypocrisy and unnecessary things that are constantly being direct or indirectly shown to us.

People just can't stand corruption anymore. People are sick of being manipulated and deceived.

Every one knows by now that something has to change, and maybe this is the reason why we are 'unconciously' looking for it, maybe even desiring it. And it doesn't make us evil - just normal people who have had more than enough of a sick world, enough of violence, pollution, destruction, lies, govt bullshit, disrespect, etc..

Just this.

I think those two things are essentially the same thing..
So, to answer the question; Yes.

Would you elaborate on that please? I don't understand.

let's flip the coin for a moment. what if you chose to be here to see this unfold?...

would it make any difference?

i' blessed with age to be here right at the time to document.

children's children are the real problem, and i fortunately bought puppy dogs, as i wasn't blessed with any (though i raised two).

to die or to live?

death is not an equation when we are young.

when you get older, it is opinion, of where am i and what for.

that's the individual question on a personal level that needs to between you and yourself.

does life mean anything?

does death change anything?

cool questions.

i'm not afraid to die...this world is a festering dung heap full of dung beattles happily rolling shit into littke balls and then proceeding to brag about how great they are based on the size AND color of their shit ball...lmfao!

yea im ready to die but i wouldnt mind living forever.

yep

I have WANTED to live a completely different life than the one I have been FORCED to live. And if the rest of my life only holds the promise of more of the same, then I can't wait for all of this shit to be over. "Afraid" and "fear" don't really describe what I feel about living...I think "resigned" sums it up pretty well. And I welcome death, I just hope I live long enough to see all of this madness to come to an end.

If this is a disease that's taken over the whole world, then it may explain why the leadership of the world is doing nothing about Fukushima (almost completely), they want the end too.

my definition of truly living is to live, and to not be afraid of dying

to live without regret and the fear of dying, is truly living

Regret has helped me to learn a lot, I wouldn't want to give up regret. Why do you think that's a positive thing?

It is a wonderful and great thing when you die knowing and serving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour; because once you die in Christ, your spirit and soul will shoot straight up to heaven. And once you are in heaven, you will be living like a god or goddess. As your past families and friends who made it to heaven will come and greet you as soon as you get there. And they will hug you and kiss you and will eventually take you to your mansion that has already been built of gold and silver and diamonds and rubies and pearls. And you will even have the ability to return to the Earth occasionally, and visit your loved ones that you left behind on the Earth.

But if you die without Jesus Christ being your Lord and Saviour; and if you die as a sinner, your soul and spirit will come out of your dead body and you will immediately be sucked straight down into hell. And hell is in the center of the Earth. And once you arrive in hell in about 60 seconds or so; the demons will immediately to attacking you and ripping you to shreds with their spears and pitchforks. And you will holler and cry and scream because of the severe pain. And you will bleed and try to fight them back; but they are 50 times stronger than you are. And are 10 to 19 foot tall, at times.

And after hours of their tormenting's, they will throw you into a small barred cell; or they will take you to their lord Satan, who will light you up with his fireballs, and have you hollering and screaming again. And after that, the demons will either put you into the same barred cell; or throw you into your own little pit of fire. And if you are in the barred cell; a fire comes through it several times a day. And if you are in a little pit of fire; every 20 minutes to one half hour at the most, a fire starts at your feet, and spreads up your body and you will scream in great pains and agonies from it!!

Strongly disagree. The self-preservation instinct is not natural but something that we developed when the world changed to a world ruled by religion and law.

i like the point of why you want to be here when you have no idea about what it is all about, and what comes next.. makes life a house of mirrors/////////////\\\\\\\\\

My grandma gave up living, she just gave up
and died :( . Doctors didnt find nothing wrong
with her, she was prety healthy, even our
family linage has good genes.
She said at a time in the nursing home,
your pa will pick me up in 3 days time,
once those 3 days passed, she died.
Strangest talk I had with her.
Not sure what to make of this story.


Not sure how people can just "die" ,
or getting their body to shut down
on command?
