I think I used to be afraid of death, but it doesn't really bother me any more. The way I see it, being afraid of death doesn't make sense for two reasons. Firstly, it WILL happen and it's unavoidable (though I suppose that could be part of the fear) and secondly, when I'm dead there will be nothing to fear, becuase I'll be dead anyway. Naturally I fear the actual act of becoming dead (well, if it's not a nice old-age, death-while-sleeping-after-worthwhile-life kind of death) but I should think that's pretty normal seing as how it could involve anything from drive-by shootings to meteor strikes.
