There's far more to fear in living than there is in dying.

[QUOTE=petieng;32097434]Well for one, a species that was afraid of birth but didn't give a shit about death wouldn't survive very long.[/QUOTE]
For example, fear this for a moment. You're a slave to impulses and emotions surging through your brain beyond your control. Empathy, lust, hate, fear, all of those are beyond your control. What can you do about it? Nothing.
Your mind can and will work against you. That's a fucking scary idea.
Not afraid of death in the slightest. Well, the only thing I fear about it is pain.
Protip: People die when they are killed.
I'd like to go ahead and link you to lyrics by Pink Floyd - Great Gig In the Sky.
They were vocalised as a soundbite at the start of the song, but what you'll read is true.

[QUOTE=yuki;32095462]I felt like I was dying after I took a ton of DXM one night. I'm not afraid of too much now, but I never want to feel that way again, that was a dumb plan, and yet, and enlightening experience. I felt cold and numb and unconscious, my thoughts were grasping and chaotic, and when they weren't, there wasn't any at all. I gasped for words but couldn't move my mouth, and could just barely whisper out fragmented sentences. I felt like I was bleeding out, like the blood had rushed out of my body through some gaping wound.
What a fucked up feeling.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like you took too much and weren't ready for it.
Although I've had a similar experience on DXM.
[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;32095695]Why the hell would you get high off of DXM?[/QUOTE]
Because its trippy as fuck.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;32097275]Why is it that everyone is afraid of death, but never afraid of conception/birth?[/QUOTE]
I'm afraid of it happening again after I die.
one day I'm going to write an essay explaining why we shouldn't fear death. it's all there, jumbled up in my head, I just need to give myself some time to map it out and finish my philosophy degree.
If you survive death, then cool. If not, then whatever.
on the bright side once you're dead you stop caring about dying, which pretty much means you won't have to care about anything
Smug Bastard... quit making threads that already exist.
I don't think it's scary, just the way it happens, such as burning to death, would be really fucking scary, not to mention painful as shit.
Maybe you don't die when your brain shuts down as that last second of fleeting power that your brain uses could last an eternity. Maybe you'll hallucinate the rest of your death.

I was DEFINITELY not ready to trip that hard but I did it anyway. I knew I was gonna be fucked from the beginning, but whatever.
Being afraid of death is like being afraid of the time period where you weren't yet born
