Note, when I ask this, I don't mean to question what your beliefs are about what comes after. My question to you, is how do you view the subject of death? What are your feelings toward it? Are you fearful? Does being around it discomfort you? Have you fully accepted your own mortality? Or do you shy away from the subject or dislike thinking about it?
For many people, facing death or even contemplating the inevitability that their life must end at some point, is a terrifying experience. This can be for many reasons, whether it be a fear of not knowing what may come next, or being too strongly attached to this world that, for the most part, is the only world we truly know. I want to know how many of you have spent your own fair share of time contemplating this subject, and what results that contemplation has yielded to you.
(I'm also whittling away the time until midnight, and figured this might make for an interesting discussion in the meantime.)

I'm not afraid of death, it'll happen one way or the other. I have faith of what will happen to me. I fear losing others, or rather the fear that once they are gone I'll be alone. As selfish as that sounds. But really if the world ended tomorrow, I wouldn't be all that upset, I'm not necessarily ready to die, I still have things I would like to experience, but if it happened, then so be it.
