For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;
Am I afraid? No! How could I afraid of the "gain" and the "very much better"?

So very nice to see someone so very knowledgeable of scripture..Thank you for that response!! I am in agreement with St Paul..to live or to die...it's hard to decide..but since we don't have to ..we leave it up to God....Plus.

I think it's natural..it is an emotion of ours that is very easily sparked!

True..it's inevitable..but who doesn't fear the dark a little..or not being able to breathe? Hold you breath..Imagine not being ever to come out of that ?

Hi Joy. I am afraid of dying as I want to live forever and be able to enjoy life forever. I am scared of not being able to feel the beauty of life and everything and everyone that has entered my life. I know we will all die eventually but it certainly scares me not knowing what is going to happen to me after I die. Hopefully I will go to heaven.

No. I know I will die someday. I'm afraid of how I will die since I prefer to die right there, no hopsitalization, no surgery, no suffocating. I'm also afraid of what will happen to those who depend on me, if I die, they will be out there on the street no money no food and get abused by stupid teenagers!
