Do you fear death and dying?
Explain your reasons either way.

On a day to day basis I don't even consider the thought and I don't live my life in any way impacted by the thought of death. However, moments like this I sit here and think about the fact that one day my body will stop and I will fade into what I believe will be nothingness and it absolutely terrifies/panics me for a minute or two. Then I'm able to take my mind off it and move on from the thought.
I guess I take solace in the face that it happens to everyone so it's not like it's a reality I have to face on my own. When I allow my mind to wander and really think about the inevitability of it all, it definitely bothers me briefly though. I'm "only" in my late 20's though, perhaps that will change as I grow older tho I hope it doesn't. My heart goes out to those who struggle with the anxiety of such a reality on an ongoing basis.
