The Experience of Almost Dying Is Surprisingly Calm.
People who have had near-death experiences report that they are quite peaceful.
I was almost in a car crash once because I clipped a puddle and almost spun through a wall. No it was not a calm experience.
I was part of a tbone crash on the side of the car that was hit. I think i was pretty calm at the moment as I was able to clear the road of all my belongings before the police and ambulance got there. It was a scary experience at the time during the events that lead up to the crash, but everything was ok I guess after…
The voices were so loud they were grating my ear drums. I felt the hairs inside my nose wither from the smell. They told me it was tranquil. They told me there was nothing to worry about. The light at the end of the tunnel is hellfire.

I tried killing myself with my insulin a while back, but chickened out basically 'cause that shit wasn’t tranquil. Nor have the times I’ve had diabetic ketoacidosis (where one’s blood turns acidic etc.) been tranquil neither. Sure once you lose consciousness it gets real calm and silent, but up until that point every cell and fiber of your entire being is screaming for life, and those screams are all you can hear as your blood hums in your ears drowning out everything external. And then there’s the horror also.
But yeah, I wouldn’t call any of the times I’ve almost died peaceful.
