In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Death is not a word to fear, any more than birth is.
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
It comes with faith, for with complete faith there is no fear of what faces you in life or death.
In course of time, religion came with its rites invoking the aid of good spirits which were even more powerful than the bad spirits, and thus for the time being tempered the agony of fears.
Death is a fearful thing.
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
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.
Most people come to fear not death itself, but the many terrible ways of dying.
Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.
