Re: Fear of dying - Religious vs non-religious people
I'm not religious but I don't really fear death. I don't want to die young because I feel like I still have a lot to do. The being said I think I fear that I could do more but wouldn't be able to, not just that I don't exist anymore.
I do fear dying a painful death; that would really suck. However, I fear that in the same way I fear breaking my femur or something along those lines. I think death would actually be quite peaceful at the end of a long fulfilling life. Kind of analogous to sleeping for 18 hours straight after cramming for 48 hour for an exam, but on a scale infinitely greater.
