My worst fear is actually not to die. I don't believe in hell and the worst that can happen is that I stop to exist.
My worst fear is the process of dying itself. After watching a close family member die of cancer, that process frightens me. If I end up in a similar situation, I'll move to Oregon as well.
- kenjackson 16y agoMy worst fear is to stop existing. I can't fathom that one day I'll just be done. That's it. Not watching the world on some big screen TV. Not appreciating what I've done. Just done, and eventually no one will have ever known I was here. I used to hope that as I approached death that I'd be so fulfilled with life that I'd be ready to go. I still hope that, but I'm less convinced that it will be so. It almost seems like suffering before death is to make the transition easier. To me it just all kind of sucks, so I consciously try not to think about it much. It's one thing I have little say over.
