For most of us, the thought of dying can be frightening. Some people have to cover their eyes if they're watching someone die in a movie, while others get scared if they feel sick, look up their symptoms on WebMD and convince themselves they've got a terminal disease. Basically, dying doesn't sound like much fun and most of us would prefer to delay it as long as possible (if we're still healthy and happy, that is). But a new study published in Psychological Science says that our fear of death might be exaggerated. (Seriously!)
Researchers found that death is often described as a peaceful, "unexpectedly positive" experience by those who are close to it, and that the concept or thought of death may actually be scarier than death itself.
"I think that when people imagine that dying is like, they see it as being very different from the life they know," study author Kurt Gray said. "But really, death is part of life. And maybe you don't need to fear it as much as you might."

No one is afraid of death. Everyone is afraid of intolerable pain.

The truth about death and the hereafter is hidden from our knowledge for good reason!
Otherwise, suicides would be rampant, and nobody would care about life in this world.

Smart...
It was obvious even from a young age that the 2 unforgivable sins were actually control mechanisms for the serfs.
So many people indoctrinated with so many lies - it’s actually impressive.

I would die tonight for her with no regrets.

Would you? I can relate to that. There’s a woman alive right now who’s so important to me I’d accept the fate of those Jordanian pilots to save them.
Point of the thread thread though, is it a legit death or does the fear of such separate us the circumstance.

Life is a culmination of sensory and perception. Death is the absence of sensory or perception. So death is nothing. Then death is nothing. Do not fear. - euchlid.
