However, I would be unhappy to die when I had something important to do, so sometimes I fear death. By something important, I mean something family-oriented. I would hate to croak and ruin someone's big day. It's not hubris that makes me fear the impact of my death. I have a very big family and we are all very close. I know it would hurt a lot of people, so I hope I make it long enough so the little ones are big ones and everyone is psyched that the smelly old lady finally gave out, though I personally don't look forward to getting old.
But none of this is relevent as you shall be dead, therefore you would not be unhappy, just non-existant.
I totally agree though, on the not looking forward to getting old, i'm only 26 yet compared to many of my peers, I feel like i'm and old man.
