What do I fear? Well, I have a number of fears, but none more terrifying than death. Death is scary. For me its not necessarily the manner of dying, although some ways would certainly be preferable to others; it is the unknown after death. After you die, you’re gone. There is nothing left but your body, your shell. What makes you who you are, your personality, is gone forever and it’s not coming back.
I know that there are a lot of people who believe in some kind of life after death or reincarnation or something like that, and therefore don’t worry as much about this. I personally don’t believe in anything of that sort, and that is why the thought of death and being non-existent terrifies me. Just think about being alive and aware of who you are and how alive you are at one moment and then to suddenly ceasing to exist. It’s an incredibly frightening thought.
