Starting at a young age, humans know that death is inevitable. There is no escaping the harsh reality that one day, a person might not wake up. We know that death is coming, but we never know when. Our last days could be closely approaching without us even knowing. Yet when we think about our death, most of us do not think about being killed by live entombment.…
Death is a small, seemingly innocuous five-letter word. It is a topic that many do not like to discuss until it is absolutely necessary, while others may sit and ponder it in order to make sense of their life and purpose. Many ask themselves things such as “what will happen to me after I die?” One may think that humans are scared of dying or even say that they personally are scared of death. The uncertainty of an afterlife, or the concern over what will happen to those one leaves behind are valid concerns.…
This discussion matters because some people are in distress over the topic of death. Many people live life scared of death and fear it mitally. Others that do not fear death can live their lives to the fullest and not scared of what the afterlife will be like. I believe that death should not be feared. I would like to think that I live my life to the fullest…
Death is an inseparable, inevitable, and an unavoidable part of life. It should not cause us to live in fear, but rather to live every moment or every second of the life to its fullest. It is important to not bury our heads in the sand, instead, to make responsible preparations which include our wishes for best for our family, friends, and relatives and also financial and legal arrangements for those who are left. Death gives us total reason for living because it provides us structure on how we appreciate and how we guide our lives. We should prioritize every important thing or activities or even the goals that we plan to accomplish before our eternal voyage.…
Were all destined to fulfill a purpose in life in which we want a path that guides us without being so laborious. It's like a seed sprouting in the spring, the seed grows and flourishes into a beautiful flower all through summer to only wither and die in the cold winter, but it must all take place in order to regenerate. As humans were lit up with the seed of aspirations to then face yourself with obstacles that you never expected. We all want to get to those aspirations or the blooming stage, but it is equally essential to pass by the bloom and face the unawareness of life's reality before the new seed can be born. Death being so catastrophic portrays people being forlorn, but in a religious aspect we can see it as a beatific moment for one's…
People are scared about death because nobody in the world knows when will it come and what will be happened after it. They have different opinions on death and these can be changed after exploring different life experiences. Some of them try to escape death by various ways because of fear, while…
The question of whether or not a fear of death is rational is the crux of Jeffrie Murphy’s article Rationality and the Fear of Death in which he sets out to argue that it is irrational to fear death and concludes that a fear of death is on the one hand rational if it helps the person live a meaningful life and on the other hand irrational when it has no real purpose in helping one live the way he wishes to. Murphy’s conclusion however leaves much to be desired about where one draws the line between a fear of death aiding in the quality of one’s life versus an irrational fear of death that in a sense drives one away from living. I plan on trying to define where this line can be drawn in reference to Murphy’s conclusion, as well as arguing further…
Precis 1: “The 4 Stories We Tell Ourselves About Death” In the Ted Talk video, “The 4 Stories We Tell Ourselves About Death” (July 2013), philosopher Stephen Cave covers why humans fear death and when we first realized that we were going to die. He supports his ideas by describing it as a curse that we developed by being so clever. Cave describes the knowledge of mortality as being the biggest bias ever and he proves this by giving examples of experiments that were done involving this idea.…

As we know, the state of the soul and living a harmonious and virtuous life is far more important than the physical life. Thus, to fear death is a guilty plea to living an ignorant and unjust life. There are two outcomes to death: positive transition and positive transformation of the soul. The soul can be in eternal rest or migrate to a better place. Contrary to belief, death is not an end but the beginning of an undisturbed rest.…

After experiencing the meanness of my mother’s death, I shunned my life by blaming God for the pain I felt. I had questioned my faith in the existence of such a cruel God. I called life unfair because every other kid in my fifth grade class still had their parents. I questioned if living with a broken family was considered living a life. However, in the end, I met my life and lived it.…
But based on what I believe today, I find that death secretly excites me. It is no longer some unknown void that keeps me awake at night, half curious and half afraid – but something to look forward to at the end of a life well-lived. This does not mean that I want to end my own life, because I feel very blessed to be alive with the opportunity to learn and to help others. It also doesn’t mean that I won’t grieve when others die, or that I won’t be afraid as a patient facing imminent death.…
However, I can remember possessing this fear and asking a classmate at my school if he was scared of dying, and he said that he wasn’t because he knew that he would go to heaven, and that I have nothing to be worried about so as long as I was a good…
