We don't make ourselves believe it. It's your side that has not made us believe otherwise. It's about facing and accepting reality as we find it. Courage is required to do this, and to forge our own purpose rather than accepting one dictated to us. But it's not required to accept death as the end. Intellectually, it is very natural to do so. Psychologically it may be a different story, but that is more to do with comprehension than acceptance.

On the topic of scary beliefs, you are the one with hell. And that wonderful depiction of heaven. So if anything I should be taking tips from you.
Heaven is scary but not as scary for me as ceasing to exist. But hopefully I won't find myself residing besides Acheron or Styx any way.
