The Worst Moment Of My Life

Death is an unknown place that people tend to avoid because of the fear that surrounds it. But, there should be fear or anxiety that has built up because being in a strange place will definitely add anxiety and fear to a person. Ron Scranton confirms this idea by saying. “learning how to die isn’t easy… I was terrified by the idea”. From the time when he was in the army, he had no choice but to face the idea of death.

People can be afraid of anything, the most common fears are Death, for the unknown of what comes after you die or the unknown of how you're going to die and Heights because

I have this fear that causes my body to shake. When I think about it, my skin becomes pale and cold. It’s death speeding through my mind. Once I have seen these monstrous roller coasters, the only thing in my mind was fear. Knowing that I’m afraid to go on these rides, I didn’t want to look like a fool in front of my friends. My mind is thinking of deadly thoughts. My palms were sweaty and I was twitching like a fish. I was petrified of heights.

One example, is Mr. Stalas, or the bald man. In the beginning, he continuously complains and pleads for death. Yet, he still survived.

Humans typically want to avoid the subject of death so when they read horror or other scenarios about people dying they face their fears of death. In “Strawberry Spring”, by Stephen King, there was a college student who had “her throat cut from ear to ear”(1). While reading this humans our facing their fears on the subject of death. Having fears is part of the Human Condition and is completely normal. Even though these fears are normal, most people still try to face them and horror is a way to do that.

One summer, me and my family went out of town to Florida. Florida is a very nice place to go vacation, and swimming. While we was in Florida, me and my family went to the beach. It was my first time go to the beach, so I was excited. When we got there the sand was very hot to where we can barely walk on it. Me and my family was having a great time at the beach. Me and my brothers decided to go swimming. When we got into the water it was very salty but we did not care, we just wanted to swim. We got into water just enough for it to reach our waist. My brothers wanted to go deeper into the water. They went further into the water until the water touched their shoulders.

Introduction: Almost everyone has an irrational fear or two—of mice, for example, or your annual dental checkup. For most people, these fears are minor. But when fears become so severe that they cause tremendous anxiety and interfere with your normal life, they’re called phobias. A phobia is an intense fear of something that, in reality, poses little or no actual danger. Common phobias and fears include closed-in places, heights, highway driving, flying insects, snakes, and needles. However, we can develop phobias of virtually anything. Most phobias develop in childhood, but they can also develop in adults. If you

My interviewee expressed that she has no real fear of death but does fear the process of dying. She wants to die with her mental health intact as much as possible. She explained she does have some “senior moments” like buying a bag of potatoes when she already had a bag at home and not being able to find the potato peeler which makes it a little tough with the sudden surplus of potatoes. However, she has recently taken some mental evaluations that test things like memory and she scored well on those. She believes there is an existence after this life and that helps her a lot as she

Albert Einstein once said “The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there’s no risk of accident for someone who’s dead.” (brainyquote.com) It is said that 68% of U.S citizens fear death, the second highest fear in the U.S behind Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking. (statisticbrain.com) Thanatophobia is known as the fear of death and is distinguished from necrophobia, which is a specific fear of dead or dying person or things. (wikipedia.com) Death is usually associated with pain and suffering. Such as car crashes, explosions, cancer, and illness, nobody ever thinks of a freak accident happening and life ending right then. Everyone has a finite time of life, but will never know when it will be their time to die. You can’t change your fate and you don’t have any way of knowing what it will be. (quora.com)

Everyone and everything dies eventually so there is no reason to fear death. Even fear of the unknown is not necessary. It is coming to us all eventually and as long as you live every day the best you can, there should be no reason for a person to fear death. By controlling oneself, you can reduce regrets in your life and adequately assess your own actions enough to be able to improve upon who you are, what you do, and how you act and react. If you live by this, there should be no reason to regret or feel guilty and if you are living your life, constantly striving to be better, there should be no reason for anyone to fear something that is completely natural.

Fear is a psychological disorder in our brains telling us there is a potential for pain. Practically every person has some sort of fear; some are common, such as fear of the dark, heights, flying and spiders. Though, one of the most universal fears in the world today is known as Thanatophobia, the fear of death. The reason for this is, as humans, we do not understand what dying really consists of, so we do not have the means to fathom what it truly is. If people understood death better, they would realize the truth about the fear: there is an irrational fear of death that should not exist.

Some fears may center on the event of death itself, but many people seem more concerned about the events that lead inexplicably to death. People fear the dying process as much as death itself. Perhaps this is true of you. Think about it for a minute. Which do you fear most? (pick ONE response)
