“Why do we fear death so much that we don’t want to die?” Why don’t we fear life? Dead is the end of life. An end to a beautiful journey from earth and existence. I fear life too and waking up every day not knowing about my future is scary. People may fear death because of the unknown that comes after. We don’t know what will happen after we all die. As we don’t have a choice and were to be born in this world we live in the moment and try not to overthink it too much because people also fear life. 

I fear both life and death because death is the final to everything. It’s nothingness, a black hole, loneliness, and unconsciousness. On the other hand, life is unexpected, with fear of taking action, life obstacles, and our own discovery. 

Dead haunts us because it departs us from our loved ones. Family members, friends, dogs and cats. We try to make the best out of it in the living world but as the final comes, tears and sorrows spread around. Sometimes death occupies my mind like flies. Me and my friends would talk about the mystery of death while lying on the grass in the park. We both wonder for hours and hours about this topic that is out of human logic to figure out.
