texanomaly:

Thank you! Fear of danger is healthy.

Not necessarily. Understanding risks and managing them are the best. Fear plays a minor role in a well managed society.

I love life. If I could, I would be disappointed that my life ended early. By early I mean before 80ish (considering the constraints on longevity). If I got to that age, I'd leave this earth happily.

It would be nice if we lived longer tho. Not forever, but maybe 200.

musKeeto:
Oga, that's a normal reaction when one is in danger or harm's way.

A better example would be if one is diagnosed with cancer and has a few days to live.

of course d person wil still be afraid of dying.....even trying everyway of staying alive..
Now lets use ur example,im very sure u wont want to av cancer cos u dnt wanna die....simply,u afraid of death
Inshort everyone is afraid of it....stop the pretence

texanomaly: I don't ... dwell on the thought that I will die some day. It gets in the way of living.

Neither do I.

AtheistD:

What about soldiers who risk their lives all the time? What about people who work in excessively dangerous professions? Fearing death is different to coping with the risk of death such that you don't think about it or worry about it.

no thats passion....those soldiers are passionate,bt thats doesnt mean they see and face it....there is always a fear factor abt death

What is your basis of making such a blanket statement? Have you conducted any research to generalise that "everyone" is afraid of death?

I wonder how an individual will just think that "everybody" will share same phobia with him. Who are you sef?

Please, go read the alphabets or something. If you're scared of dying, that's your cup of tea. Maybe take a look at the pic I posted earlier. If that doesn't help you, or if you feel that it doesn't illustrate my point well enough, well....

Kay17: Some people have actually conquered their fear of death to the extent that they can comfortably crack jokes (maybe morbid ones) whilst in a diving plane. They don't flinch in the face of death.

eg boko haram and suicide bombers
