Oh yeah I believe in death, I can see it. I don't know if I trust it or not, but I agree that it doesn't lie. It's life that is full of liars.

The idea of death has the power to excite and the power to humble. I don't trust the exciting aspect of it.

Dying used to scare the shit out of me. I don't know if it's normal, but I remember being like 4 and laying in bed telling my parents I didn't want to die.
Then I realized how awesome this life is (despite a lot of the bullshit people deal with). In general, life is god damn amazing. Whatever our life is, wherever it comes from, whatever consciousness really means or implies, life is amazing. And death is just another part of life. Life = Death and vice versa. Life = Amazing. Therefore, Death = Amazing.
The transitive property proves that death will be amazing. May sound strange but I really believe it. And not because it uses a mathematical property to "prove" it. I just thought that was the best way to explain. I plan on having a good time in the afterlife.

As a person who lives with his vision almost completely botched by LASIK surgery, I can add that the beauty in death I see is that nothing lasts forever. Death is the final release when our fragile, mortal bodies no longer have the capacity to experience true joy anymore. The will to live becomes lost with age, and perhaps that frequency ripples into the body causing illness, as some argue, eventually leading to our death... but only to be reborn, I believe, into a new body, fresh and vibrant, capable of experiencing the beautiful highs that this life has to offer.
I find it interesting that the French call orgasm, "Le Petite Mort," or The Little Death. Makes me think.
Either way, being knowledgeable and accepting of my death makes me more free I believe. I'm not afraid to live anymore. And I make the best of what I have left.

very well put and id have a very similar answer.
i guess i see the relative/subjective aspects of most questions such as this one to where i am really left without an answer.
questions such as "who or what lives and dies" spring up.
was "I" ever really nonexistent at some point in time? Who am i? Obviously im not this collection of ideas that ive merely adopted from the next man over in society. So how can i answer relative questions that are only relevant when specific opinions are assumed to be true?
this is a very good question tho that gets one to inquire into WHO they are and what things are to begin with

it doesn't matter.
death will take care of itself when it comes.
we can only think we know. we cannot know.
what happens after death is something that is ABSOLUTE.
Weather it be existence beyond the body, or annihilation.
Whatever it is, it is SET. In Stone.
So, we may THINK we know.
BE CERTAIN life exists beyond the death of the body
BE CERTAIN thats it man, that's the end of the road thanks for playing better luck next ti.... erm
but actually, our stupid ass fucking ideas (think kids and lego blocks) have nothing to do with reality. It says nothing about it, and affects it NOT. Therefore it's all story-telling the end

No one knows, you say?
Do you think that the life one leads on this planet has any impact on one's death or life after life? Is every soul treated equally at the time of death?
If no, what choices/impacts would be frowned upon?
We all recognize our conscience when it kicks in. Is there any relevance to this inner voice? Does it have anything at all to do with the afterlife like many religions teach, or is it simply a long outdated Darwinian type mechanism with the end goal of bettering life on the planet?
None of us know. But we're all coming from the same source, and that's what makes the difference in opinion so fun to listen to and consider.

I find it interesting a lot of cultures saw life as a preparation for death (see the Tibetan Book of the Dead), as opposed to the Western denial of it.

Death isn't something you really have to trust in. It simply is regardless.
Having personally coming close to death through OD's and renal failure, the relationship between those experiences and high-level hallucinogenic and other 'religious' experiences have been very close qualitatively.
It's not something to be worried about, there is not a 'you' stemming from the illusion of self created by continuing perspective to feel regretful after the fact, this I am highly confident in from personal experience with NDEs.
Belief in something certainly doesn't make it real, but just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone's NOT out to get you. You will loose your continuous perspective. 'You' already have in your life at various points, but with the advantage of hindsight and connection of memory. The only difference with death is that this hindsight does not exist posthumously. And pain can certainly be very present, but It's quite likely that death is often less traumatic than being born.
