Just as many other people have said, I don't really think about death very much. It simply doesn't scare me.
As a child (from about 4-16 years of age) it would haunt me whenever I thought about it. Back then I was a christian who was taught that hell was a thing. That I could be sent to this fiery place after I had died (By a god who "loved" me, mind you). But it simply doesn't disturb me anymore. Before I die, I will make sure that I have lived.
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” - Mark Twain
Stephen fry put it very well:
