Life or Death

[evolvedForm]

What scares you more, life or death?

[madnak]

I fear death more. Death seems likely to be one of three things: the cessation of existence, a highly traumatic spiritual event, or hell. None of which are easy for me to accept.

[evolvedForm]

I fear life more. Death isn't even an experience unless there is an afterlife. Only events in life can give me uneasiness, and there are certainly many of them that do that.

[madnak]

Ceasing to exist isn't scary for you? I wish I were so comfortable with it.

[Morrek]

Neither scares me

There seems something super oxymoronic with "being dead". There is no such state, is there?
I can be hungry.
I can be horny.
I can be alive.
I can be dead ...hmmm, how would that work?

[evolvedForm]

Sure it's scary. But it's less scary than life. Plus, I'll stand by my statement that you can't experience death, so in itself it's nothing to be afraid of.

You're wrong evolvedform, yes death can't be experienced, though dying can, and yes death scares you while in life, but it's the end of life that frightens you.

Neither scares me

[evolvedForm]

I mean that death in itself, i.e. the experience of non-existence, is not something we experience.

That said, though the end of life is frightening, and though sometimes I wish I could live forever, I still think that what happens in this life is more frightening. This may change when I am much older, I don't know.
