Getting married, having kids, seeing the world, meeting new people etc. I always feel really bad hearing about teenagers and young adults dying because it's like they will never experience the fullness of life. Of course when I'm dead I won't care but as a living person I fear that happening to me.
I don't think that's the same thing. You could live 100 years and not do all that stuff, if the right circumstances didn't come up. You might have a fear of not accomplishing your goals, perhaps?
When people say they fear death, generally I think they mean they fear the idea that they won't exist any more. Do I note have that right? I'll defer to you all on that, maybe I'm mistaken.
If I die and god is real, im so screwed.
