Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It comes with faith, for with complete faith there is no fear of what faces you in life or death.
In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.
Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.
You get rid of the fear of death by understanding that it is an integral fact of our existence. You do that through will and reason.
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Death is a fearful thing.
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
A dislike of death is no proof of the want of religion. The instincts of nature shrink from it, for no creature can like its own dissolution. But though death is not desired, the result of it may be, for dying to the Christian is the way to life eternal.
Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.
