Hi, I was just wondering, and I asked myself why are people so afraid of death. I personally am NOT afraid of death. Everyone is born to live and then die.

But some of my friends are terrified of death. When I ask them why, all they can say is..."BECAUSE...."

Are u afraid of death? Why or why not?

I have no fear whatsoever of death. Apparently, this is culturaly unacceptable.

People are afraid of death because it is the unknown. They don't know what happens after, and that's why they are afraid. I personally look forward to the day I die. Not in a morbid sense, but simply because on that day, I find out which religion is right. It excites me.

Only idiots accept death.
Then again, I suppose it's not their fault. Society has always attempted to ingrain a rationalization of death.

People need to work to beat death, not embrace it.
