I wish I could say that death does not scare me, but as it is it scares the living shit out of me. That's why I choose to not think about it, at least not very often. How is it that death does not scare you? Teach me :)

But you do exist right now, isn't that something you wish to preserve?

Fair enough. I am also fairly sure that once I am dead I won't care. However, now that I am alive and have an enthusiasm for living, it's hard not to fear it's conclusion. I rather like being alive. This fear does not debilitate me, in fact I think it allows me to live a more full life. As Kafka said, "the meaning of life is the fact that it ends".
