Heh. Reminds me of a Woody Allen quote about reincarnation (in the Nietzschean sense of reliving the same life all over again perpetually) which goes something like this:

"So Nietzsche says when we die we get to come back and live our life all over. Great. That means I'll have to sit through the Ice Capades again."

On topic now: I fear death and think about it quite often. I'm not all it's just that I have a tendency to ask those questions which have no answers to myself a lot, i.e. where do we come from, why are we here, where do we go after we die,etc. This is just the reason I think about it a lot, not why I fear it.

The reason I fear death is that I have a very low tolerance to pain and the moments before death are usually one's most painful. I fear death because I know I will probably cause others pain in going.

I do not, however, fear what comes after death. I am very curious and like to live new experiences. So if anything comes at all after death, I'm sure I'll be up for it. The worst that could happen is that there is nothing after death, in which case I'll be grateful for the eternal rest.

Hey wait a minute... that means I'll be part of the grateful dead! Woot!
