“Above all, live your life without fear of death. Death is the only guarantee in life. Your only choices are in how you live, not whether you will die. When my time comes, I don’t want people to be sorry I left. I want them to be glad I was here. Live in such a way that your life will be celebrated more than your death is mourned.”
—Heather Marsh
@markwyner There is a difference between being scared of being dead and being scared of the act of dying. If you do not believe in life after death (and I do not) then being dead is nothing to be scared of. The act of dying is different as that can be and often is very unpleasant.
@aadeacon good point. But she’s explicitly referring to the idea of being dead. What happens after that point, if anything. I didn’t provide that context, though.
Having said that. The discomfort (or even horrifying agony) of the act of dying could definitely be a fear factor in general.
