Fear of death bigger problem

[thedaywillcome]

Fear of death bigger problem than survival instinct. At least for me. For you?

Im feeling the heat as time tick tock tick tock coming nearer and nearer. Its like the final examination i have to take.

I am not so fearful anymore. I know that death is better than this low quality existence of tears and misery. That's why catching the bus is like getting on a bus and you are not sure about the destination. It's not the getting there, but the journey itself, that matters the most.

Agreed. Climate crisis. worst drought in 1,200 years, fires turning everyplace and everything into charcoal briquettes; Russian berserkers raping and torturing and massacring; N. Korea threatening to use nukes; street crime and thug culture...just meditate on these and see if your fear of death is as strong as it was prior to such an exercise. I'm scared to LIVE, not die.

Why should we fear of dying. Its the other way round unless u are mark cuban or anything.

I do not fear death at all, death is true peace and an end to all suffering. Nothing can hurt me when I am dead. There is no point to fearing death as it is inevitable for us all. Death makes life seem so pointless and temporary. The thing that I fear is life in general as there is no limit as to how bad things can get and the ctb method failing. The fear of failure is the main thing holding me back from ctb, all that I want is to peacefully pass away.

Yes. I think what is stopping me is more the fear of the dying process and fear of death and the unknown that the SI itself. If I could overcome this fear, I think I could overcome my SI.

Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. People here use "SI" to avoid admitting they fear death. It's the same thing, an innate fear of death. There's nothing wrong with it.

 

[Hurt]

I'm afraid of the uncertain but I have a belief that there's nothing (as before birth)

 

[Crazy4u]

I don't care for both. I don't know what is worse. I am alive due to guilt of leaving my special needs dog behind.
