Are you afraid of dying?

If you are: why?

I believe fear of death is partly based on the false premonition that death is somehow a state of being. It’s not.
After the point of your death, you cease to exist. That does not mean floating around in darkness. It doesn't mean being nothing.
It means eternal nothingness of no non-existence. Nothing.

In other words, nothing to worry about.

"It means eternal nothingness of no non-existence. Nothing.

The fact that it might be that, Nothing, is exactly why it IS something to worry about. I'd rather be floating in eternal darkness, or even go to hell than cease to exist.

I've no idea what happens after death (no one does) but the possibility that it might end in absolute nothingness is what terrifies me. To cease to exist is at the absolute bottom of the "things I'd like to do" list for me. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING could be worse IMO.
