“I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.”
― Isaac Asimov
Not sure how else one can answer a direct poll question, when there is no option for, "Don't know". Honestly not sure what undecided even means in this context.
Undecided was meant to be taken as unsure or don't know.
To expand on the OP's question, I submit this question:
Do you fear death and dying?
Explain your reasons either way.
On a day to day basis I don't even consider the thought and I don't live my life in any way impacted by the thought of death. However, moments like this I sit here and think about the fact that one day my body will stop and I will fade into what I believe will be nothingness and it absolutely terrifies/panics me for a minute or two. Then I'm able to take my mind off it and move on from the thought.
I guess I take solace in the face that it happens to everyone so it's not like it's a reality I have to face on my own. When I allow my mind to wander and really think about the inevitability of it all, it definitely bothers me briefly though. I'm "only" in my late 20's though, perhaps that will change as I grow older tho I hope it doesn't. My heart goes out to those who struggle with the anxiety of such a reality on an ongoing basis.
Judgement of some kind, and reward or punishment thereafter. I have to be held accountable for my actions or inactions for that matter, during this lifetime. How I responded to my fellow human being's needs, basically, how I lived my life.
Life cant be just this.
I believe for the last few generations , people have stopped asking important questions about our existence. Like, Why am I here? Where am I going? and How do I get there?
When you die, I think it's over. The last conversation I ever had with my grandfather, he was 89. Told me he was tired and that he was ready. Just worn out. I hope that's the way it happens for me. I want to see my grand kids and I want to be old.
