Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around who tranform into the force.
But yeah. Prove that death is the end of suffering and I'd agree to stop worrying. But props to the Klown for his truthiness.
Life is what you make of it. If you'd rather succumb to absolute nothingness than stand up on your own two feet and get over whatever problems you have now, or have had in the past, then shame on you. Life could be great if people grew up once in a while.
The joy of doing something great, or finding a happy lifestyle, or knowing that you'll be loved and remembered. That, to me, seems too much to give up just because my childhood wasn't the best, or my school life wasn't the best, or simply because bad things happen. So, yes, death really is so bad (if there's nothing afterwards). To give up all possibilities just because you can be hurt or have gotten hurt sounds totally weak-willed and short-sighted to me.
Of course, that's just my opinion.

What amuses me is the fact that you all seem to be talking like you know exactly what death in-tales, as you don't i think it'd be safe to consider wether or not you can judge why it's good or bad for other people 😐
What amuses me is the fact that you altered the word "entails" to read as "in-tales". Really got a chuckle out of me.
eastern wisdom traditions always say that there is no boundary between death and birth. even in the gospel of saint thomas, jesus says that the only way to enter the kingdom of heaven is if the binary opposition that we draw in this world is destroyed. as long as you keep thinking of death as one side of the coin then you're really missing the point. reducing life/death to either pain or pleasure is not an answer.
People should have power over when they die so ofcourse murder is a crime.
And yes there is still pain after most death's.
The human brain is shown to op operate for up to 5 seconds after decapitation.
Thats more than long enough to think about what just happened and how much physical and emotional pain your in before it all ends.
lol, and where do you think they are doing that research?

there was a french scientist who wanted to prove that you don't immediately die after decapitation and his "lab experiment" (for lack of better term) was that upon being guilotined his assistant would measure the number of times his eyes blinked. well, i dont remember the count exactlyt but it was 30 something.
as Ash would say: groovy!~Sado
aside from the major methodological problems, I'm fairly skeptical that this ever occurred.
it is interesting though, and I've heard the legends from the Reign of Terror days in France
