The conversation went like this:
- ME: I don’t want to die a painful death.
- HER: Huh? I am terrified of what comes after death. Modern medicine takes care of most of the pain, but I really hate not knowing what comes next.
- ME: Really? I don’t want to look back and regret large chunks of my life. That would really suck.
- HER: You are weird.
- ME: ????
So, the questions are:
- Are you afraid of death?
- What is it that frightens you?

More Depeche Mode Lyrics…
1. Well some days I would say yes, but it is not something that I go around worrying about day to day, as that would be way to unhealthy.
2. Prison scares me. That and car salesmen.
@turtlejp: Prison I can understand. Car Salesmen?
Why?
1. Yes. Esp since the little health problem I am dealing with. But deep down, I think it’s rather pain, and leaving Da Missus alone that I am fearing.
2. Pain. Like turtlejp, I’d say prison, except that my way of life makes it really not probable. Snakes. And running out of money.
hmm, pain is an issue. It isn’t something to really fixate on though, much like the ‘after’ question. The answer to that is that when you die, you are dead, there is no ‘after’, there is just as the bible says… nothing, granted they go into elaborate lengths to describe ‘nothing’ as something, but in the hebrew… it is still ‘nothing’ or ‘the void’. Once people accept that death is just that, the end… life i think is much more liberating, there is no promise of future happiness or pain, just the possibility of current joy, compassion, and friendships. It is best to seek those when you have a chance.
