Are you afraid to die?
Sep. 1st, 2006 12:16 pmA subject that was raised in a training course the other day, was to ask our biggest fear. Several people said that their biggest fear was dying. Now, this struck me as a little strange.
I mean, everyone is going to, sooner or later, so what's the point of being afraid of it? Might even be tomorrow, although I'll admit I hope for a long and healthy life.
So I thought I'd ask. Are you afraid to die? And whether the answer be yes or no, why would you say that is?
I'm not entirely sure if it's a religious/spiritual question or not. Well, obviously your religious beliefs would have a measure of impact, but ... well I wouldn't really put myself in that category. I'm sort of thinking that it's more a question of resolution of yourself. Accepting the premise that you will one day die, and also accepting that you're satisfied with how you've done so far.
I'm interested in your opinion, so please leave it, even if it's only a 'yes' or 'no'.
