Do you imagine death much? Do you think about the final moment? Are you scared?

I think about death constantly. I'm kind of resigned about it, and I assume that I will not have a natural death.

It'll come at some point. After that, I won't really be around to care. I don't dwell on it overly much. I've not existed before and it wasn't that bad.

This question seems very familiar...

Anyway, to reiterate, I don't think about it much, and I doubt that's something that's determined by religious beliefs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd imagine that most religious people don't think about it too often either.

As for if I'm scared, I suppose I would be were I dying. But, intellectually, I'm not too concerned about "the other side". My consciousness will just cease to exist.

I don't think of death that much, as I know that the biological sensation of death itself (if you could even call it that) is null and void, and I've already experienced approximations of that state before, with anaesthesia, but the prospect of dying itself gravely uneases me, and I hope that within my lifetime the prospect will be eased to the degree that you change your television channel (I know that you already have something like that with physician assisted suicide, but it's rather unrefined and it needs to be worked on quite a bit.))

I know death will come at some point, and as Recliner said above, I've experienced it with anaesthetic procedures.

I don't believe in god, jesus or any other sort of afterlife thing. One you're gone, you're gone. No heaven, no hell, nothing but the black abyss.

As for being scared, I quit being scared long ago. Now I just wait for it.

> Do you imagine death much?
What, like the grim reaper? What else is there to imagine about?
> Do you think about the final moment?
I sometimes play out scenarios like "what if I swerved off the road right now and tumbled down that embankment?" in my head. I usually stop after the first 2 seconds.
> Are you scared?
Not so much, but I do have some anxiety about whether there will be significant pain immediately before I expire.
