What? You call that heroic? Well when I was younger we used to be tortured for days before we were killed outright. Never complained a bit either. That's just how heroic we were. Hell sometimes we would tell jokes as were going out just to show how little a shit we gave.
No, your lot has it good these days.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I'm not afraid to die, but that's most likely because I spent nearly half of my life wanting to die.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I'm with CD on this one. A close shave or two will give you a different slant on death. I've had my two - a motorbike crash and a bombing - and the only thing about death that worries me is what if I snuff it before I read everything I want to?

You won't care once you're dead.
I've thought a bit about regret. In all likelihood, I have far fewer days ahead than behind, and I have a long list of things I would like to do before I die. I'll never be able to do them all. In my view, it's better to relish the things you can accomplish and have accomplished than regret those you cannot.
Death could come for me today and I would have no regrets

I guess you are one of those people who are lucky enough not to have a phobia.
I'm afraid of the IRS. Does that count?

So... this dude comes here, posts two words and a number, and he already hit 3 pages of responses? WTF? Can't even write "to".
Eye thinkz thiz iz 2 fuwked up. Eye said it. Gewd. Jeez. Eye C how it iz. TTYL. C U 2morrow.
Bleh.
So, you are scared to die. Why? Once you die, you won't remember what it was like to live. Won't miss it. Think about it. If you live right now like if you could die a little later, you could live life in the most extraordinary way. It would be the best way possible to live your last moments over and over again. Life is too short to waste it on being afraid of its ending. The beginning happened. So focus on the filling. That's all life is. Filling. Any type. You pick. Isn't that exciting?
