What is it about death that we are afraid of?
Answers
Explanation:
Freud thought that we cannot truly believe in death as a real occurrence, so any death-related fears must stem from unaddressed childhood trauma. But it was the theory put forth a little later by an anthropologist called Ernst Becker that ended up informing most current understandings of death anxiety and its causes.
Answer:
There are lots of things to be afraid of.
Did you not read Hamlet?
“To be or not to be, that is the question.”
Here, Hamlet is trying to contemplate death, you know. He is trying to analyse what it is. What if there's nothing but numbness after death, what if the afterlife or the aftermath of life( if it co-exists) is even worse?
What if death brings about things that we, as humans, dread the most. What if there's something like "Jahannam" or "narak" where we might end up after death. This uncertainty is the thing that we dread, not death itself.
You know, death is the most intriguing mystery of life, even if we have to attend it.
Thank you very much!
P.S: I see you have an excellent analysing mind. Mind answering my questions?
