For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; Am I afraid? No! How could I afraid of the "gain" and the "very much better"?

So very nice to see someone so very knowledgeable of scripture..Thank you for that response!! I am in agreement with St Paul..to live or to die...it's hard to decide..but since we don't have to ..we leave it up to God....Plus.

Sometimes when the thought comes to me that I'll disappear from the earth one day sooner or later,I feel a bit frightened.

Hi Joy. I am afraid of dying as I want to live forever and be able to enjoy life forever. I am scared of not being able to feel the beauty of life and everything and everyone that has entered my life. I know we will all die eventually but it certainly scares me not knowing what is going to happen to me after I die. Hopefully I will go to heaven.

No. I know I will die someday. I'm afraid of how I will die since I prefer to die right there, no hopsitalization, no surgery, no suffocating. I'm also afraid of what will happen to those who depend on me, if I die, they will be out there on the street no money no food and get abused by stupid teenagers!
