We've the choice to live our life in fear, or we've the choice to live our life without fear. I do not fear death, I do not fear the pain of dying. To fear pain that hasn't come yet is stupid. When death comes it will come and no one or anything can stop it from happening. Suffering and the pain of life is inevitable. But we do have the choice to live with the anxiety of losing everything. To lose a family member or to lose a loved one is painful. But in time you will see that you will die like them. And you will begin to know and not believe that all things come to pass. Learn to be fearless, live life free of anxiety. Hard times will come I know, but the glory of living in the moment outweighs the future momentary pain.",

Fear of death is fear of the Unknown. Realize the Wonder, the Eternal Unknowability of the Totality of Existence, and fear of death is transcended. If happiness or freedom depends on the Answer to the Question, then there can be no happiness or freedom. The Question cannot be satisfactorily or finally Answered. For one who abides at Infinity, happy and free, at ease with his Ultimate Ignorance, the Question and the Answer are equally unnecessary. What began will come to an end. What is Wonderful is not threatened. The Process of the Totality of Existence is Transcendental and Eternal. Only a fraction of the Whole can pass away in any moment, since only a fraction of the Whole appears in any moment. Therefore, the Heart Itself is always already Full of Wonder and Love. \"I\" is the body-mind, the fraction of the Whole that is now appearing and will soon disappear. \"I\" must be surrendered to the Heart, to the Whole, which is Infinity, Wonder, and Love.”",

Hereupon pessimistic philosophy and religion propose to attain to Nirvana by the extinction of Will-to-live, or by the total annihilation of life. But this is as much as to propose death as the final cure to a patient. Elie Metchnikoff proposes, in his 'Nature of Man,' another cure, saying: 'If man could only contrive to live long enough—say, for one hundred and forty years—a natural desire for extinction would take the place of the instinct for self-preservation, and the call of death would then harmoniously satisfy his legitimate craving of a ripe old age.' Why, we must ask, do you trouble yourself so much about death? Is there any instance of an individual who escaped it in the whole history of mankind? If there be no way of escape, why do you trouble yourself about it?”",

Why would someone feel profound fear, deep in his or her stomach, about public speaking, which is so far from death? Because it isn’t so far from death when we link it. Those who fear public speaking actually fear the loss of identity that attaches to performing badly, and that is firmly rooted in our survival needs. For all social animals, from ants to antelopes, identity is the pass card to inclusion, and inclusion is the key to survival. If a baby loses its identity as the child of his or her parents, a possible outcome is abandonment. For a human infant, that means death. As adults, without our identity as a member of the tribe or village, community or culture, a likely outcome is banishment and death. So the fear of getting up and addressing five hundred people at the annual convention of professionals in your field is not just the fear of embarrassment—it is linked to the fear of being perceived as incompetent, which is linked to the fear of loss of employment, loss of home, loss of family, your ability to contribute to society, your value, in short, your identity and your life. Linking an unwarranted fear to its ultimate terrible destination usually helps alleviate that fear. Though you may find that public speaking can link to death, you’ll see that it would be a long and unlikely trip.”",

Therefore the true belief that death is nothing to us makes a mortal life happy, not by adding to it an infinite time, but by taking away the desire for immortality. For there is no reason why the man who is thoroughly assured that there is nothing to fear in death should find anything to fear in life. So, too, he is foolish who says that he fears death, not because it will be painful when it comes, but because the anticipation of it is painful; for that which is no burden when it is present gives pain to no purpose when it is anticipated. Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist. It is therefore nothing either to the living or to the dead since it is not present to the living, and the dead no longer are.”",

Humanity is not meant to fear contrary to what most religious / cultural books tell us. The core philosophy behind our birth involves risk. Our death is inevitable. And yet we come to this world despite this reality. If our creation considered death a fear for us to not be born, then we would never witness the most wonderful experience defined in our very existence: life. And yet, owing to our ignorance of this most obvious fact, we still choose to forgo many wonderful experiences that are meant to be part of life. We do not let ourselves to love because we fear of heartbreak, we do not pursue our lifes passion for the fear of letting go of a secured life and give our dream a chance to become the next Picasso, or even get out of the four walls to be touched by the million wonderful kisses of that monsoon rain in fear of a running nose.",
