That appears to be a feature of the human mind; we are the center of the universe and the concept of death is probably way overblown by our minds, because when we die, EVERYTHING DIES. That, or the thought of missing out on whatever it is that comes next. I dunno, we're all at least a bit crazy.



Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
