I have never related to "fear of death"

When actual death comes nipping at your heels like a crocodile, you will see how different things get.

Yeah im calling BS on everyone saying theyre not scared of death. Easy to say that when youre not face to face with complete annihilation. Its literally a biological response thats programmed into your DNA through millions of years of evolution. 

I remember recently a wrong way driver was barreling head on down my side of the road at 60+ mph and I literally felt my body and mind tense up and fear take over. It wasnt a conscious choice, just an immediate biological reaction and i doubt any amount of yoga or meditation could have helped. I literally prayed and thanked God afterwards for not killing me right there. If you can experience that or some equivalent like being robbed at gun point completely calm, then maybe your claims will have some legs to stand on

I am terribly afraid of the process of dying. The dying part.

I've seen quite a bit of varied ways we can go out.

Some I would never...

Emphysema was traumatic to witness - slow. 

Seen multiple births and deaths.

@Phil King Its can.

Death is psychological.

When you see the car and get scared the process is psychological before physical.

You are doing it.

In a sense, the terrifying experience died. Pretty meta, huh?
