The concept of death has never scared me. The only thing that ever even remotely scared me about death was how it might come. I don't want it to be incredibly painful when I die. Physical pain is one of those things where I do everything with in my power to avoid. Some time ago there were those videos though, about the kid with the heart problems. When he shared his near death experiences, it really put me at ease. He didn't seem to feel very much pain at all. He made it sound like a pleasant experience, actually. Now I'm just kind of going along as I am not worrying a bit.
When it's time for me to die, I'll welcome it with open arms, though I will never go out of my way to be the cause of it.
I have no clue what will happen after death, but it can't be any worse than... well, living. At least I would hope not. It's just a nice thought. Ceasing to exist. No more worries, no more pain. And even if that seems horrible to you, at least you got a glimpse of life and were able to experience it first hand for a short amount of time. While it's practically miniscule compared to how long the universe has existed, it's still better than never existing at all.
