Fro me it is the how. I don't want a violent end, or extremely painful one.
As for what is on the other side there are two sort of three basic theories.
1) The atheistic view of fade to black and no further consciousness of any kind. Nothing can be done about it and if it is the way things are we'll never know.
2) The general Christian view that there is an afterlife and a heaven and hell. Where you end up is determined on how you lived your life in the here and now.
3) The New Age quasi Christian view of an different level of consciousness that continues in non-physical form in some other form of universe.
I'm basically of #3 that some form of consciousness survives and goes onto that other dimension. Too me it would be a total waste if life is just a microscopic blink of an eye in the eternity of time.
There is also a more realistic 4) The energy that is our life is put to some other use since energy can not be "destroyed". Perhaps with a consciousness but probably not.

Not particularly worried about about death or what comes after.

None of that really frightens me. I accept death as an inevitability.

I'd say the 'how' part but it is not something I particularly worry about and I think it is better to live your life than worry about how it is going to end. I worry more about snakes, blue tongued lizards, frilled-neck lizards, frogs, big spiders, grasshoppers and praying mantises. I hate praying mantises. They are so creepy with their weird little eyes.

The when/ how part worries more than what comes after. I'm hoping it'll be natural causes but, I always imagine that a Jack The Ripper copycat will get me while I'm walking home from my monthly book group meeting or Michael Myers will get me on Halloween night. I guess I need to ease up on the horror movies because realistically getting run down by an inattentive driver is more of a risk than getting carved up like a jack o' lantern by some psycho.

"How". Drowning in the ocean is probably my biggest fear. Eaten by a shark or some other creature that lurks below is probably my second.

I don't really think about either thing to be honest.

I don't really think about either thing to be honest. that must be a wonderful life. for me it is the "how". it starts to occupy more and more of my time lately. how soon it will be and how very unpleasant it will probably be too. it got to me when I turned 33 or 35 I think… life before that was so much easier it seems now…  |
