Do you fear death or how you'll die?

I'm terrified of bears.

But with that said I don't think I'm scared to die or that it's something I should be wasting energy worrying over. For me the bigger issue is how I will die in the future, I'd like to do the cliche thing of dying of old age but I still worry about bears.
I think I'm looking for macabre positivity on this one.

The brain would shut down after they started tearing into you. The flood of all the painkillers and nervous system activity . . . you'd just pass out.
Then wake into God.
You can wake into God right now actually. 
When you wake, you find no, not are you able to take on a "grisly" death. Or bear. But, you KNOW you encapsulate all phenomena and you have already witnessed all things.
Safe and sound,
Hallowed be Thy name!

death no constant worsening pain yes
also some other big human fears are insanity poverty exile or loneliness or rejection having your make up on wrong and not knowing it 
of course what really messes us up are bad mental habits and attitudes (like for example focusing on fears!!!) and continually making small choices that are poor

I was about 15 seconds from a sure death a while back. Logging truck coming my way drifting further further further into my lane. Nowhere to run, nowhere to go. Guard rail with no lane to right. No way to ditch it.
Oddly, I think my pulse went up a bit but it was almost a relief to realize it would be over quickly, even though I had the clear realization that it was going to suck. Slowed way way down laid on the horn hard I would have tried to outrun him that might have worked too but maybe not. He woke out of his slumbers just in time to almost jackknife the rig loaded with logs very close very close.

I used to think I was insane or had some mental illness but after visiting a psychiatrist I realised that to have a disorder you need to be disordered and apparently I'm not that.

I fear dishonour much more than death. Which I am glad for.

Sentences, dude. I would just be glad, if people just spoke, in sentences.

Psychiatrists are mostly autists and they don't consider an excess of order to be a problem. Autism is essentially an excess of order. I have no problem believing that you'd breeze through.

I'm fighting stage 4 cancer at the moment. Its terrifying. I often wonder how I am going to die from it. At night in my sleep? In a fit of pain? Surrounded by strangers in a hospital? I have a big surgery coming up. I may not wake up from it. Shit sucks.
Sometimes I envy those that commit suicide, just a little. They take their destiny into their own hands. They face the abyss and jump right in. That's not me and I'm glad its not. But still...

I can't imagine what that's like but I hear psychedelics can help people come to a level of acceptance, if that's something you have access to.
