When people die everyone looks at it as a tragedy. I see it as a part of life. People live to die. and when people are scared of dying in a sense that makes them scared of living. which influences the type of lifestyle they live. When people are not scared of dying usually they will do more crazy and unexpected things than people who are not scared of it. It also influences the way people see others. when you look at someone in disgust or hatred this comes from the person fearing there own death and even the death of them. not necessarily in the same way but in a way it does. because if a person truly wants to live they have to make it by there own standards not anyone else's. so why do people constantly try and sway other people into doing something rather than informing them of other ideas? and by this i mean a list of ideas that they were unaware of... not ideas that the person telling them is involved with.
Why are people scared of dying?
We are not afraid of death; death happens; dying can be slow, painful, messy and emotionally debilitating
Reply:They either they dont know or dont take comfort in the promises of God. In the bible, he promises to resurect the dead, both rightous and unrightous and they will be judged. Those being found in gods favor will recieve the gift of everlasting life on earth. But in order to be judged rightous, and worthy of everlasting life you need to meet his riquirements found in the bible, from the ten commandments, to the preaching work that he requires, to the things jesus taught on earth in his sermon on the mount and the other things he tought. Theres a lot that go into being a follower of christ.
Reply:Huh? Your not scared of dying? Are you a Spartan?
Reply:I've asked myself the same question time after time. I mean we are all going to die. It's the cycle of life, so why be afraid of something you know is bond to happen? I've realized that it's fear of the unknown. not knowing what happens when you die. you know there so many unanswered questions and when people have unanswered questions they tend to be in an uncomfortable state. And as far as for people telling others how to live their lives-i mean people give advice, you either take it or leave it. sometimes it's good to listen to what people have to say-it might help. people only talk because they feel that it is necessary, at least for the most part.. other times what people say is B.S. you have to know when to listen to what you're told, and when to go with the flow.
Reply:complex question.
Why do people try to sway others rather than informing them of other ideas ( ie. not ideas that person is involved with)? It sounds like you are asking why people are not objective, but seek others to support their belief systems. Your observation about so called 'human nature' is quite descriptive of a lot of human interaction. There is debate about why this happens. The explanation largely revolves around a more social psychological view, that our personality is developed in a social context in which we interact with various types of people. To a large extent our social self ends up being made up of beliefs and attitudes about who we conclude we are and what is right and wrong. This belief system is seen as at the core of our identity. There is a saying 'i think therefore i am'. That sums up a lot of how we function, we are identified with our thoughts and beliefs as the anchor of who we are. If someone thinks or believes differently from us, especially regarding more primitive or core beliefs, we have to sort out how to maintain the integrity of our beliefs by discrediting the other, or getting them to agree with our 'world view'. This is most obvious in religious or political discussion. A very strong are to deal with is life and death. As we are trained in the west to understand and gain security or sense of control from that, it is very intense to face areas we can't prove. The realm of death is not understood well, and there are many theories or theological views on it. So because there is no solid proof that it is OK, fun, safe, or good, there is fear about it. A lot of religious thought has appeared to go into controlling people to behave, by giving them fear about what will happen to them after death, ie. heaven or hell. Why are people afraid of dying, well they are taught to fear it in many cultures. You say if a person truly wants to live, they have to make it by there own standards, and not anyone else's.... and that is very important. But as you can see for strict religions your idea is scary, for the followers are not encouraged to have their own standards, it is the church's standards that must be believed. It would be a radical shift for someone to trust their own feelings or thoughts regarding life or death, if they have been steeped in strong institutional beliefs that have become part of their identity. You will find there are very open minded, balanced folks who can talk with you more objectively, about various viewpoint, and not need to sway you to support their own belief systems. These relatively rare ones, identify with their own unique selves more, and the level of thought and belief less. So they can accept diversity of belief in others, as it does not threaten how they identifiy themseles. Good luck with being unique.
Reply:I actually don't fear death because of the unknown. I have my own religious beliefs that keep that fear at bay. But I DO fear pain. We don't know what it feels like to die, and so while I think I know what will be waiting on the other side, I am scared of the journey there.
Anyone else ever thought of that? Maybe that is its own question. Do you think it hurts to die?
Reply:I think its because they dont want to leave people behind. They fear what they dont know, and are unsure of what happens next. I think this is the time when peopel really question "is there a god" if theya re on their death bed. As for me, Im not afraid of dying in itself. But its the HOW I will die that scares me. Im sure people are haunted of images of drowing, burning ect ect. Thats what scares me the most. Id rather it be quick and pianless. But Im not sure if I want to know when I will die, or how. I just wanna go when I go.
Reply:Reason to scare: What will happen to my hard earned money and property ? Will my loved ones be left unattended?
Reply:People are scared of death because they are afraid of the new, the unknown. They don't know where they'll end up after dying. People who are left behind grieve for the deceased because they can never know if and when they'll be able to meet their beloved ones again.
Reply:Fear of death
1. lack of control
I don't want to suddenly pass away in my sleep or be hit by a car and have left my life in disarray for others to witness and have to deal with. I am dead at that point and shouldn't care. As long as I am alive though, I will care how I am perceived and how my life/death impacts those that love me.
2. sense of loss
You can't make people reenter your life. You can try to pretend they went on vacation, you had a break-up, etc. Ultimately, you know you will never share any thoughts or actions with them again. That is sad. I don't want people I love taking unnec. risks that could lead to an immature loss.
Reply:I think it might be a fear of the unknown. People are, generally, not afraid of things they are familiar with, thus, since we cannot die and tell about it, it remains an unknown.
Reply:There are many logical reasons for people to be scare of dying. First think about it, you are buried 6 feet uNDer the ground, covered with a sheet of concrete, small animal eat away at you, its not something to look forward to, even if you don't know what's going on. 2nd, you will no longer see the people you love, or have the things you love, etc....we know what we have there, no one knows for such what you will get on the other side. So fear of the unknown is always scary. However, if you have strong faith, and hold on to the notion that we are only energy, which cannot be buried or burn, then death become another transformed state of being, because you energy never dies, only the flesh.

Do these people really think others will take them seriously?
the people i am refering to are the people of the square earth society. the interesting stuff is under the FAQ. Link to their website for information on them: http://pw1.netcom.com/~rogermw/square_ea...
just so you know, as an atheist, i try to respect other people's beliefs, but this is just, i dunno. I can't really take them seriously. maybe seriously isn't the best word, i dunno. At first i thought these people were kidding, but after some reading and thought, i realized that these people are probably pretty serious, just as there are people who don't think 9/11 happened.
I don't think that it's all christians, 'course not, it's just, these people have some...interesting thoughts. but what kind of person says, and i quote from their page " God won't let any half-assed believers into heaven."? I respect people who have strong religions, but i think things like "Hollywood is in league with the devil" and "Airline pilots are also in league with the devil." are a bit much.

Reply:There are some religious groups that the church teaches stuff like this. I went to a school in the summer once when I was little operated by the Church of God. I went because the public school teacher said if I didn't have some more school over the summer, I probably would not pass the next grade.
That is a long story, but to help you understand, these school teachers were called sisters and they were really strict. They didn't believe in TV, Make up, or Doctors. My mother was a registered nurse and they told me she was a servant of the devil. They allowed two children to die when they were sick because they would not go to a doctor. Now do you see how legalistic and stupid some sects of religion can get. My advice is, ask questions and discern everything. God gave you a brain to think with and a Spirit to guide you. Listen to that voice that tells you right from wrong.

Why cant people be a little more complicated than what they are already?
people are always the same, its always the same identity in a different person, its like there isnt enough identities going around its always the same thing, like, theres only like 5 kind of persons, you can be a rebel, who are the only people that kinda know themselves and know what they want, or you can be a gothic wich they dont know what do they want and its not because of them, its because of people around them make them be who they are, you can be a raper wich they dont really know who the heck they are because they dont even have a special identiy cuz they are always changing it to make people like them, and people are so stupid that they do, what i can say about it is that they are the more ignorants ones, because they are the ones who more like to make people feel bad, wich is them who make goth people be who they are and so does the rebel people who doesnt care about anything because they have learned more than what they had to, then they make someone feel in pain and get to%26gt;

The human behavior is like an onion there are so much layers, just waiting to be discovered!!

Before I start ranting about the way I am mad at some people I would like to state that I am not racist...I think black people should have the same rights as white people AND the same standards to be held to...

People Eating People?
Well ever heard of the (true) story where people were stuck on a mountain in the alpes and had nothing to eat but dead human meat(the people who died in a crash). They get hungry have nothing to eat and decide to eat the meat of the people who died on the crash in order to live.
Well does anyone have an answer thats in the bible or closely related as to wither it's ok or not to eat the meat of those people. I personally would rather die then eat a person but it would ease my mind to have a yes or no answer.
here are a few things i heard from people
-*Romans 14:14-16
-it's fine because it's flesh and it will just become dust anyways
-*That's nasty!
-*If that person has aids or something don't do it.
any answer is hopefully helpful thanks!

right now I could say that I would definatly not.
But who knows what would happen if you got that hungry.
I'm sure God doesn't smile upon it, but i know he'd forgive you in those circumstances.
I think I'd rather die though personally, or even eat plants or dirt that was in the area.
eating people would be so nasty!

Reply:The bible doesn't really cover the issue, so I don't think that it condemns what they did. They did what they had to do.
I bet that they thought they'd rather die in those circumstance until it actually occurred, and ended up starving to death. I believe that we never truly know how we'll act until l things happen.

I'm sure God doesn't smile upon it, but i know he'd forgive you in those circumstances.
I think I'd rather die though personally, or even eat plants or dirt that was in the area.
eating people would be so nasty!
unless your Hannibal...

Reply:It was in the Andes following a plane crash and some of the people were soccer players who actually ate flesh from team mates. there was a movie about the incient. Alive (1993)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01...
A similar incident occcured happened in Donner Pass in february of 1847. Report It
Reply:Yes I would. I am not saying that I would be proud or that I would be happy about it, but if it meant living or dieing I choose life.
Reply:If you don't like it, you can always order something else.
Reply:There is a mentallity that goes along with cannibalism -- it is usually the weak minded. Remeber though that these men could eat or starve to death. They did not eat it because of a like for human flesh. Even Domeer repented for his cannibalism. I do not have scripture I will edit my answer later with it.
Reply:It's no different that eating a cow or a bug. Just cook it really well and use a flavor of BBQ sauce that you like.
Have you ever seen the movie Alive?
Reply:In an emergency situation, where a person has left his body behind on the EARTH for good(what we call death), it would be O.K. if you could do it. But remember, thou shall not kill!!!!!!
Reply:People who eat people are the luckiest people in the world.
Reply:The bible doesn't really cover the issue, so I don't think that it condemns what they did. They did what they had to do.
I bet that they thought they'd rather die in those circumstance until it actually occurred, and ended up starving to death. I believe that we never truly know how we'll act until l things happen.
Reply:you do what you have to do to survive... tastes like chicken really
Reply:well if you don't eat you don't **** and if you don't **** you know, animals eat there Owen kind and we are only animals who have evolved, it is survival, so if it came to the point that every thing had gone and the only thing left was the body's the deceased...it is your choice
Why don't people every try to start friendships or conversations with me?
Why don't I meet other people who are looking for new friends? Like people I don't know never start talking to me like I do with them. People I have never met. Whenever I ask for advise I am told to be outgoing, so i do that but other people are never outgoing to me.
I'm was very shy but have pushed myself out of it. I try to meet people and make friends but it seems like I am the only one trying. What I mean is I talk to people in class and such all the time, but no one ever starts a conversation with me. I don't mind doing it, but always having to be the one to do it gets tiring and is confusing me. Are most people uninterested in makeing more friends? Do they have all the friends they want? Are there many people who are looking for friends?
(I don't smell bad)
I'm not pushy, most of the time i ask people if they like this class.
Why don't people every try to start friendships or conversations with me?
Maybe is the approach u r adopting. Sometimes, ppl feel arward when someone approach them in an unnatural manner.
I always believe there r lots of ppl who is friendly to meet up with u, the only things is r u in the right place and time?
A pointer, when making friends , try to be as natural as possible and subtle, don't not make them feel like u r doing it intentionally, otherwise u looks like weirdo t them instead. Gd luck. cheers!

Reply:i have somewhat the same problem. except for the part that you try to make friends and i don't. i want to make friend but i am shy. some say i look mean and i laugh because i am not a mean person. sure i can be really mean but i don't show it to my friends. maybe you have the same problem as me "the mean look"
Reply:Well, maybe they just don't seem comfortable talking to you. Try to look more happy!
But you know what? It's probably nothing.....maybe it's just a coincidence.....just keep trying to make friends!
Reply:People are generally reserve and usually keep within their own cycle. Only once in a while that they break free from their circle to interact with another, this is because of need due to business or advantage in another circle.
People are inert, you don't push or kick them, they won't move. Nudge them a little and they will talk to you, I guess you would have to initiaite the ice breaker then ^_^.

Reply:Hey I know for a fact every single person at my school would want a cool new friend so never give up. Hell, If you sarted talkin to me we'd become good friends and I think most people are like to so I dont know whats the problem.. Maybe you just unfortunantly picked a bunch of wrong people. Keep going Im sure you'll make wonderful friends
Reply:I had a hard time making friends in school too. I'm now 32, and I still have a hard time making friends. Most people these days have their own family, their own friends already established and they have their own lives. A lot of them have friends from elementary school,and they remain friends all through school. Some people don't meet friends until high school and they stay friends through adulthood. I met my friends in high school. I only had two true friends and we are still friends to this day. All the other people who I made friends with through life have either moved on somewhere else and I never here from them again, or they only contact me once in a while. You can still have friends, but they are not always going to be what you think they should be. I know it sounds confusing, but you will understand better when you get older. For now, if you want to try to make new friends, just say hi, How are you today. I don't think I'd ask if they like the class. Just saying Hi is enough. If they want to talk to you they will. If not, that's their loss.
Reply:they probably dont want to talk? im like that, i dont want to strangers that just comes up and says stuff to me.
Reply:To have a friend you must be a friend. Quit acting like your better than everyone else. Look people in the eye when you have a conversation with them...like your interested, you will soon have friends. Dont keep talking about yourself.
Reply:Maybe to some people you come on to strong. Try to be cool and just say hi nice to meet you,or just be yourself and if they don't like you, oh well something is probably wrong with them.
Reply:Most of the people are shy too, you just cant see from outside.
I have same experience as you. Keep trying. Good Luck.

Why are people are so mean and hateful.....?
Were people always like this? It seems like people are so rude lately. It's like everyone is out for themselves and has a "whats in it for me" attitude. People don' care about others. Especially on here people are so blatantly mean to other people- they are insulting and can be downright cruel. Road rage is getting out of control-- manners don't matter anymore...people are impatient and always in a hurry---of course, I know that this doesn't apply to everyone and I'm generalizing but it just seems like times have changed so much and people have lost all respect and compassion for other people. Lots of self-centerdness. What's going on?
Why are people are so mean and hateful.....?
It's not so much the people as it is the standards that get lowered whith each generation . . . one can get use to
anything if need be for there survival, so much so that if
that way of survival is threatened we all go balistic . . .
Think of this, why is it that young people go to there peers
instead of going to some who is older for advice . . . such
as ther parents or teachers or just some older person . . .
if you wanted to learn an instrument who would you go to some one who's been playing 20 minutes or 20
years?
we don't have to look hard to see that even the most docile
person can break out into a rage given the right provocation.
look at what goes today, every body is offended by either
some one or some thing, this offends me that offends me
so we relinquish this and ban that, and what do you hear
alot of? when i was your age i never did that or the oppisite
when i get to be that age i'll never be like that, no you won't
you'll be worse because the thruth is little by little we're all
a prouduct of the what came before us so in order to improve
things we think banning things will cure the situation, never
realizinng that all we're realy doing is confirming that old
saying, " The More Things Change The More They Stay The
Same " all we're realy doing in plain english, is getting more
and more pissed off at our selves, and blaming every one else for it, like smashing the mirror cause we don't like what we see in it . . .
If one realy studie's life from when it first began do you realy think you won't discover thruths that have been covered up?
ah but there in lies the secret, what is now has always been
and will continue to be, young people will grow old and have to live with there own dirty little secrets just as older people do now and you can bet your @ss your kids will tell you where
to get off eventually when they come up with new ways to
set new standards of survival which will be even lower than todays . . .
Accept anything and eventually anything will be acceptable.
allow any type of behaviour and that will be the blueprint for
future generations to come . . .
interfer with that blue print, and mark my words, what we
call hate and war now, and non tolerance of each other,
will pale in comparison as to what's waiting in the wings
for any one unfortuneate enough be around then . . .
forget the meek inheriting the earth, at the rate we're
going with all the hate and spite and falseities that we
pass off as love and compassion, they won't need to
freaking inherit it, they'll own it . . .

Much of what you are seeing today are people turned into pressure cookers because of the difficulty of earning a living. Many don't want to work, or can't find work. Others are going without sleep to work two jobs. Or, working at a job they don't like. They are fighting with the bad choices they made in a marriage partner. Add in a snootful of drugs or alcohol and you have a powder keg. A cloud hanging over all of it is a cultural mindset that one is not responsible for their lot in life. It is always someone else who is to blame. When they are ready to explode they grab a beer and dial up Yahoo Answers and we all pay for it.
Reply:Bella, it may seem that way sometimes, but in actuality it isn't. Now obviously over in the Middle East, they've been fighting forever and for what, I don't know. I am surprised they haven't wiped themselves out yet. 15-30 people lose their lives a day over there. At least it seems that way. If more people live by my motto, "Treat people like you want to be treated" then things would be much better. In the broader scheme of things, you sometimes have to look at the little things to see the overall goodness of life.
