To be honest, I didn't vote on this topic because I'm not yet capable to decide whether it's worth living or dying. Who is to decide anyway? I'm happy to see that there are more people who want to live than die on this thread, more opportunities for a reply ... I sometimes get the feeling that even in my worst nightmares life is more interesting and fun, nothing against this plain of existence though i feel it's a bit dull. Now back to the topic... yes, sometimes I do think about my end, I believe that everyone thinks about it more or less. Oh and for the discussion's sake I prefer cremation and no sophisticated traditions(better if none at all, but it's the family alive not me in that moment). What happens next, I'm looking forward in my own way...OH!OH! and to be sure, with another friend of mine I made a pact that who dies first, if there is afterlife or anything to influence at least a bit the living has to inform the other. I think it's funny and a humane reason for a normal friendship to be even a little bit stronger. I am not to say anything without proof and my friend is not one to die easily ) Cheers and nice topic!!!

I don't.

When my time comes, it comes.

Death is a natural process. I know it is inevitable, therefore, I do not fear it. As for how I'm going to die, I think it's pointless to waste time thinking about that--it's going to happen for sure, but when exactly, nobody really knows. I prefer to be spending my life worrying about life itself instead of worrying about death.

When my time comes, it comes. Dead is not avoidable and I don't fear it. If it comes, I'll welcome it with open arms.

Death is as much a part of being alive as it is not.

Worriying about it or even fearing it won't change a thing... so I rather worry myself with life- death will come, worry or not and while I can't change THAT, I still have influence over how to shape my life...^^

The poll question kind of made me laugh at first. At first glance a better question would have been simply "Do you fear death?" rather than, "Do you want to die?" But I do understand where the original question is coming from; you know, if there was such a thing as immortality would you want it etc. xD

And on the above note, no, I wouldn't want to be immortal because that would be a lonely life. Yeah, you'd get to experience all the wonders of the world, the rise and fall of nations and all that, but imagine all the people that will die before you; you'll outlive everyone you knew and therefore end up losing many and to me that seems like too much pain to bare. (Like Hoho!)

As for the fear of death- I know that we're all going to die one day and my logical side knows this, and because of that I shouldn't fear it. But I also can't help but think of the different ways I could die; I'd hate to die in pain, although I know that this pain will soon be over when I pass on. I also find it so hard to imagine nothingness...Which also adds a little more fear. I've never particularly believed in an afterlife, but I've never dismissed the idea entirely; it's just one of those things that I'll find out when I die, I guess, assuming there is one.

I think the one thing I fear more than death is growing old and being ill.

Ahaha, they made that clear in FMA, thanks to Hohenheim. I didn't get to fully answer the question about whether or not I wish to live forever or not; to which I say I do not wish to live forever. For what value is there in life if I live forever? Why do I care to accomplish anything, when I can wait several decades to do it? There is this sense of accomplishment, meaning and value in life when you know it's finite; you would have no choice but to value it, if it's a life worth living. Life becomes unimportant and trivial if one were to live forever.

^Haha! That's right, but I've always thought that way, so when I heard it on there I was glad to know it wasn't just me being my usual wimpy self.

And I know what you mean by what you say...having forever to do something just lessens the sense of accomplishment. Without that feeling there would be no motivation or drive to do anything.

I think about death almost daily.

I think about death... It is not like I am scared about it either.... I am scared that I will just die without doing anything good out of my life....

I have some days (fewer now than not too long ago) when I want to die. NOTE: I do NOT want to kill myself. Killing myself would spit in the face of God who gave me life, as well as those to whom I owe a duty of protection. And the one thing you do not want to do is spit in the face of the Almighty person you are sending yourself to meet; that would be monumentally stupid. But since I believe that after I die I'll be going somewhere happy where I'm not subject to the frustrating limitations of my body and could meet relatives I've missed, why wouldn't I want to die? I'm looking forward to it, as soon as I'm finished here on Earth.
