Exactly.
Death is inevitable. Why concern yourself with something you have no way of stopping. Eventually, your number's up.
Actually, now that I really think about it. I fear nothing.
That doesn't mean that I don't have the ability to feel afraid if I perceive myself to be in danger .... but I certainly don't live my daily life in fear ... of anything.
A bear, as psychotic killer, a nuclear attack, a crocodile on a golf course ... I fear none of this unless they are actually realized to be an actual significant and immanent threat.
Being afraid in a given moment is nature's safety mechanism, but fear in one's daily life is just irrational.
Fear in one's daily life is just irrational.
I agree with that,
Some how I get the feeling that most people are moved by fear more than love. Fear to me is more about the unknown yet when you understand the threat, it's more of a matter of time to understand that unknown fear.

I have had a few near deaths, yet nothing that would match that.
And I hope you never do. It's been an interesting life, but not one I'd wish on anybody else. Nor would I refuse to live it if I knew at 19 what I know now.

I'm not afraid of death
Dying......... now that is a different matter.

Quote:If you must fear animals, insects are the most dangerious by far, just look at the mosquitoes kills
1. Mosquitoes cause 2-3 million deaths a year worldwide.
It doesn't matter how dangerous something is or is not... fear is about presentation, and only this.
Quote:I did not say, blacks killing blacks, owwps
Though humans do constitute a great deal of it 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Like the Polar bear or even worst the shark like in the movie JAWS. Farm pigs kill more people than sharks do, and people handle them often.

I've flat-lined at least three times. Never saw any tunnel, and sure as fuck would go toward my dead relatives even if I had seen them. (One or more might know why they'd shuffled off the mortal coil, you know?  )

Once surfed a huge wave in Hawaii and had a bad crush, my first thought reincarnated as a sand crab. Still not knowing what end was up or down. I started making deals with God, if he would helps me live, I would have giveing him lots lots of money. Of course my fearlessness won out and surface again. If I was planted in sand, my afterlife would have continue into some other life form or another, much like being buried into the soil. I was not imagining living in some extreme happiness heaven smile down on earth and hell forever
Point is, God can be everything and afterlife dose continue in nature in some way. Why pay some bully big white man in the sky some sand dollars from his own sea banks, just like another wizard of OZ trick.

After a suicide attempt I'm told I shouldn't have lived through, and two very good high school friends dead by the time I was 27, I have become comfortable with death. Death sucks, but it no longer has that emotional impact when I hear that someone died, because that's what people do. They die.

That's right, everything is constantly living and dying,
Heaven's extreme happiness seems like a funny farm, when we got to smile on earth and hell forever

Suicide of the unloved
There are more Suicide deaths than terrorist, murder and war combined. Please, give a little love where there is self hate. I have friends who work on the Suicide lines and about 9 times out of ten they are just looking for anyone to love them. When babies are not loved, they can die. To certain degrees it is not brave or honorable way to act, yet not in all cases it considered negative. Most cases it’s a lack of love, for Love is the most important behavior in the world and can conquer all.
