I suggest Dugin' classification. First, you try to run away from it, the result is a modern society of surplus, and of the unnecessary goods turning the world into a dumpster. Second, you know that it is always behind you, it's waiting, its eternal, you will return to it, example the farmer, the cycle of life. Third, classic metaphysical, it's a challenge, you hear the call and you abstain from the vanity, you try to conquer it with achieving some spiritual awakening. Fourth, the macabre dance, death isn't here, where is it? It's a mirror, an illusion, it transforms you into a god. You discover the true immortality of the soul. As you see, the relationship to death is one of the determining factors of the society.

Death is not a hunter unbeknownst to its prey. One is always aware that it lies in wait. Though life is merely a journey to the grave, it must not be undertaken without hope. Only then will a traveller's tale live on, treasured by those who bid him farewell. But alas, my guest's journey has ended. His tale left unwritten.

Humans have a lot of trouble visualising nothingness; like the -edge- of the universe for example, it would've be black, empty space, because empty space is still space. It would be nothing. Like before you were born and after you die, it's not the -edge- that matters, it's life itself, it's the only thing you'll ever know.

But I mean, what if I don't care for quality of life, but I take being alive as good all on its own. Then I fear death because then I won't be alive. Of course there is a possibility of an afterlife of some kind, but if not, then Isn't it logical to fear death?

In Romania, there is a cemetery with brightly coloured tombstone with jokes on them.
This tells us something about how the Romanians view death. Death for them is something to be respected not feared. Also humour helps in coping with death.

How about fear of the death of a stranger? (Hypothetical: A stranger is tied to a train track and a train is about to kill them. Due to the fear of the death of the person, you save them. Why? Or is that not fear, and is instead some other emotion)

In stark contrast, I am afraid of the fact that an afterlife might in some capacity, exist. I am afraid of infinity, as such I find solace in the thought of complete cessation of self entering a dreamless sleep.

I don't fear death because spirit animal Rabbits are supposed to face their fears 1999. But I love the way of believing in other wonderful dimensions due to my Personality 11 from Numerology -

I believe that fear of death is hardwired into humans and most other sentient beings in an irrational way, so they fear death and see it as a bad thing even if they can't find a reason for it.

-If you aren-t afraid of missing out on historical events in the past, why would be scared of missing out on the future? -
Now I-m scared of never getting to experience the moon landing.
