Why worry about it. If I had a set day, and I knew it was about a month or so off I would start worrying. However, no one knows when they will die (unless they are planning suicide), so might as well live it up!🙂

You will drop dead in 5 minutes

I'm not afraid of death, but I am afraid of dying. I mean, I'm perhaps even curious about death, to see what all the hype's about, but I don't want to get shot or suffocate or go through a year of chemo to get there first.
 
I'm more afraid of dying, not actual death, because 1) I'm not a wuss. 😛 and 2) I have too many things I want to do in my lifetime that it would suck if I was rubbed out of the picture.

I used to be afraid, but got over that a long time ago. If you mean fear death as a concept, then no I do not. However if you mean fear as in having an instinct for survival, then I have that. I understand that randomly walking off a cliff is a bad thing. In this context you would be equating lack of fear and stupidity, however they are not altogether the same.

This is more along the lines of what I intended to say.

Medical conditions are the ecxeption, not the rule (by no means do i intend that to sound discompassionate, I simpley wasn't addressing that contingency in my reply).
 
I fear the unknown because I am thought to think like a human.
But, I know there's a lot more to life than just living on Earth.
 
If you're afraid of death and it prevents you from doing what you know you need to do, you are a slave to it. If you will not live, or risk death to do what is right you are no longer a free man. I hope if the choice is laid out I can make the right one. I would like to believe I would but I really don't know...

I never want to be a slave to anything in this life, including holding onto life itself.

I'm afraid of the unknown after death. I'm afraid of leaving a family behind that I hold dearly to my heart. I'm just afraid that there is nothing after death and that it sucks to be dead cuz you ain't coming back and nothing more will happen. You're just gone another piece of dust if you were creamated, another rotting body in a coffin if you aren't.

Actually I'm afraid I won't die soon enough to tell you the truth.

Wow, me too. Sometimes i want to be around for the future, to see how well we progress and what it'll be like... but most of the time, it just seems so tiring. Do i really want to work a 9-5 job for the rest of my life?
 
I'm afraid of death competing in the olympics. I mean, he caught up with FloJo! How can you possibly beat any of his records!

....family guy reference for those of you who don't get it.
