We have a "Flight or Fight" reaction in the face of danger as well as choosing to do nothing that's the thing but our conscienceless. It can override any primitive instincts we may have whether that's a good thing or bad thing is still unknown to me.

If someone tried to make me eat them I'd avoid it. I'm not afraid of avocados, I just don't want them. Similarly, I'm not really afraid of death. I don't want to die, I like life. I'd fight very hard to stay alive but I don't fear dying.

The idea that there's nothing after death is a pretty hard concept, but the simple fact is, if there's nothing after death, it doesn't matter, because you want have any sort of conscience to worry about it. I don't fear death. Its a natural occurrence and it happens to everyone. The more you fear death, the less you can enjoy life. That being said, we commonly stop ourselves from ending our own lives purely on instinct. Our basic, innate message is to survive. Edited by Yu Narukami, Jul 27 2012, 12:32 PM.

Posts: 573 Group: GTFO Member #593 Joined: August 8, 2005	Jugger knows what i'm saying. Why do people fear death? 'Cause we don't know what death may bring. When you die, you leave the trail of your life and the pain to your loved ones. But in the end, once dead, we don't know where we go. Do we live on in soul? Do we go to a heavenly place or hell for some? Or, doe's all our spirit and brain just shut down and for enternity everything is black. But like Jugger said, if there is nothing for us after death, what doe's death matter? You can't feel remorse or regret. You won't even know you are dead.

It's not that scary when you realize you simply won't care. It's like being in a deep sleep and never waking up. At OP, well, all organisms are meant to survive and reproduce. This would obviously also give us the instinct to want too live in normal cases.

It's probably more of instinct because no one really puts a pillow over their own heads to kill them selves. You either shoot your self, hang your self, etc. I guess it's just the fastest way to die, no one wants to feel pain.
