whats scarier, seeing something or thinking you saw something

[flambo]

Recently I thought about death and began crying, im not sure if any of you guys have experienced this but you will be thinking about what comes after death and suddenly u begin cyring or getting emotional imagining how nothing feels and this got me back on the thought of the unknown being what people are scared of.

 

now that itself is a very interesting thought and thats why many people are afraid of the dark right? well usually i walk late at night around my house since im a night owl and sometimes u will have a glass door into the garden and u think u see some eyes or something scary reflecting in the window due to lights or various other circumstances and this will freak you out obviously.

 

This got me wondering, what would be scarier knowing somethings there or thinking somethings there and it suddenly vanishing ready to appear. im interested to hear your thoughts but in my opinion i would be more scared of the unknown if i know its there i can avoid it or get help or stop it getting to me if possible right? that would be my logic anyway this is a pretty creepy post but i found this on my mind very often today

No, I totally agree with you on that. It's so much scarier thinking you see something that isn't there anymore. Like, when I see a spider, I am scared of it but I do something about the spider because I can. But one time when I was little, I have a wall mirror so I could see my entire bed. I was looking in the mirror and I could have sworn I saw something under my bed and I was frozen in my bed. I couldn't move because I didn't know what to do and I sure didn't know what it was.

 

And death is a little scary, but you don't have to think of it as a terrible thing. Maybe it's nice to be in an eternal sleep. The thought of being nonexistent is scary only because we don't know what it's like. Our minds can't process the idea of not being able to manipulate our environment, or think, or anything. But maybe it's a good thing. Religion is a good thing to help with it because it makes you feel more secure and accept your unavoidable death. We all have to accept it, but not all of us do.

like those moments u see a piece of clothing in the dark look like a hand and then u change position to hide and it goes away but u assume its just moved to fuck you up and you get more scared

I used to think this doll in my room was a vampire or something. She creeped me out EVERY night! It's just how I saw her.

perspective is a wonderous yet terrifying thing

eeeh... considering my macabre sense of humor, I can't say death affects me much... at least not my own... I joke about it all the time with no remorse :> (only about people tho, I'd never joke about an animal D:). And it's gotten worse after going through a period of actually wanting to kill myself so yeah, I have dealt with it and I am immune right now XP

 

Still, that doesn't mean I'm not a scaredy cat that gets intimidated by pretty much everything ;-; (especially phone calls). The fact that I believe in all sorts of weird stuff like demons and ghosts is not helping much either.... After getting a dog though, I can safely go drink some water during nighttime

I'm gonna throw something out here, it's not the thought of death that scares me

but the thought of eternal life, like whats it going to be like if it exists, and do i want it?, as a non practicing christian i find it odd that i don't like the idea of eternity, in my mind why should i be forced to live forever just cause i choose to believe in God, why cant i believe in him and when i die just stop existing?, why should i be forced to live in heaven?, i don't want too.

i never thought about christianity as something like that but thats a very good view point and i do agree eternal life would be pretty boring in my opinion not to mention tiring

Maybe we'll get an option. I certainly hope we have options

I can't really relate to that since I grew up in a family with mixed religions and I my self personally don't believe in God or any type of Deity to be far I really don't know what I believe in I call it Metroism its a mix of what I believe in.
