I have a fear of death-and I'm only 15!?!


Question:

I have a fear of death-and I'm only 15!?

It's more the uncertainty of what comes after that I'm scared of.
Like I asppire to be a famous actor and I'm scared that after all that ive done in my life I'll suddenly blink out of existance.
I don't really believe in god though I do think there is someone out there or some sort of 'other level' or supernatural world out there. but anyway i can't think about it for too long because it makes me feel so awful inside, like i could suddenly be not thinking, not doing anything, just not there anymore. as stuck up as it sounds my world does revolve around me cause basically there is no my world without me, i mean if im dead then how can i be in the world and thinking and what not-i duno its hard to explain but i don't understand what happens when i die.
I mean i do sorta believe in some of that physcic stuff. surely all those millions of physcucs (excluding the phoneys) are talking to someone-and if so does that mean we all survive after death.
Any advice?

Answers:

I used to feel the same way, as even though I'm religious I don't believe that consciousness persists after death. The way I see it, we're scared of death mostly when we're not satisfied with the life we're living. So my advice is to live as full and happy a life as possible. That way you'll leave a mark on the world that will last even after you're gone--to wherever that may be when we go. You will have changed part of the world for the better and people will remember you lovingly. So that way you're never truly gone from this world.

I've also gotten anxious thinking about what death must feel like. To me, being dead is probably what it felt like before I was born or the times I was under anesthesia for surgery....any time I just wasn't "there" at all...and those weren't bad sensations in any way. The way I see it, if I live a very long, very full life and touch a lot of people and accomplish a lot of things, there will come a point when I want to go completely and get some rest from so many years of constant thinking, feeling, and working.
Hope this helps.

And also, my advice is to not listen to people who talk about Hell and eternal suffering. Those are just ways of controlling people.
