The Illogical Fear of Death (Philosophy)


In our society the subject of death is usually surrounded with misery and sadness due to the loss of a life. This loss of life can understandably seem frightening.

However; it has struck me that if you think about death by natural causes or by an accident there is really very little to be scared of.

When we do die; if nothing else happens afterwards are we not truly at peace? No problems, no things to do, nothing.

Although this sounds like a fundamentally bad thing that nothing happens; I imagine it being incredibly peaceful.

Anyway; the point is if you are scared of death in the sense of passing into nothingness don’t be.

It is probably a much more painless and peaceful experience than you could ever perceive in your conscious mind at it is difficult to perceive being unconscious through a conscious mind.
