What is the fear of death and what it is?
Researchers found that the harsh economic conditions, more men are having sex and do not tend to form lasting relationships, preferring a model “for one night.” Evolutionary psychology explains this fear of death and the subconscious desire to survive, increasing the chance to leave behind more offspring.
Recently, social psychologists from the University of Kansas conducted a study in which they first made a group of men think about their own death, and another – a toothache, and then showed them images of a sexual nature or images on abstract themes. The objective was to determine whether the fear of death spurs sex drive. In the group where the subjects were thinking about the threat of their lives, they respond to erotic images faster, their pulse quickens. In the second group, the reaction rate for the same picture was much lower, the pulse smoother. On the images are not erotic men react the same way regardless of what they were asked to think about. The researchers explain this by saying that there is a person unconscious desire for reproduction, planted by nature.
In turn, researchers from the UK has recently established a very surprising regularity. It turns out people who are more likely to think about his age, and death from old age or sudden death from an accident, who are afraid of dying … these people harm themselves to much more simply careless people. Heart attack for fear, and fearful of death more often ends in fatal …
It turns out that if you are calm at the moment when you, like, “grabbed the heart,” at times increases your chances of survival, in this we say scientists. Panic – the worst possible for this “help”. Another interesting fact is that people who survive a heart attack, but of course with experienced enormous stress, and then much worse than recovering from a heart attack received, and may get another one immediately after the first – and the heart for them will be a lethal …
Scientists have made a final conclusion: fear of death – is not only quite recently it was thought, a certain emotion, it turns out, is also a powerful factor affecting all of our health in general. It turns out, the calmer people perceive their possible death (and in fact one way or another, we all die sometime), so it is better for them! And they live much longer.
Now the fear of death and its development. Youth with its limitations quickly. There comes a maturity that brings maximum freedom, while at the same time, the maximum liability. In the foreground stands the desire to take their place in society. Become very important and significant age-old questions of material security, career advancement and prestige.
The first words coming out of the mouth of a mature man – “to strive for and achieve.” A mature person leaves romanticism, departs from the youthful fun and gets straight to the real network and the functional world. He is always anxious to take a more comfortable position in these “networks”. There is no time to stay and be alone with himself, always haunted by the ghost of lost opportunities, unfinished business.
Most people “comfortably”, but in reality enmeshed in a web of relationships mechanized, completely oblivious to the fact that it is intended to be a person. He is betting on life as a body, and look solely to satisfy their immediate needs.
Consequently, a person threatened with three deaths: biological – the complete cessation of physiological functions, social – the loss of their place in society, the fear of complete loss of the social “mask” leads people to suicide, spiritual – when a man loses his face, like a deity.
What is the fear of death, which often has a personality? The older people are, the more they fear death. They seem to feel her breath, which is close to them year after year is getting closer and closer. Mature people are very insecure. Their fears are pursuing sick, accident, etc. But the fear of death itself is so strong that people just do not think about it. And if he thinks, takes the horror at the thought that once the time comes, and will forever leave this life.
Scientists say that a man is not afraid of the fact of death, fear of uncertainty after it. The fact that the death is unknown, a mature man plunges into a panic. Fear of the unknown pursued him everywhere in life. People are even afraid of what they know not what tomorrow will bring.
Of course, if we thought only of death, or knew her date, then our lives would be a nightmare. In this case, requires faith. If you look at the world a little philosophical view and realize that everything that is arranged, and even death itself – is a natural process that will necessarily lead us to one big, certain, and natural goodness. If you can believe it, your life will be calmer and happier.
