Death - Why So Afraid?

On asking people what they fear the most, more than half of them would say that death is the phenomenon that frightens them the most. Why death, I wonder?

Death is a beautiful thing. Our whole life is spent with the aim of a proper death. If we live for death, why be afraid of it? Maybe, death is just another facet of life! It's a mysterious thing - what does death represent? Is it the end?

The fact that I can die any moment, maybe even while writing this, exempts me from fearing it. It is inevitable, has to come some day. Why treat it as if it's the worst thing that can happen to a human being?

For some, it's the best that can happen to them.

Why don't we concentrate on living, rather than dying? Live every moment of the present like its filling you up completely. Death will come as a natural thing then.

See, that's the problem with many people. They live their lives, fretting and alert for the skeletal reach of the end. Result? They die, regretful, sorry for their past mistakes. They, unfortunately, don't know that immortality can be achieved in another person's heart!

The only thing I hate about it is the effect it has on the people around you.  For this, death should be perceived as something completely normal, and should not be mourned. I know it is really very difficult, but still ideal.

Sorry for depressing you on this already-depressing Sunday, but, as Dumbledore says,

"Death is but the next great adventure!"
