The Terror of Death

Human beings cannot function in the world while also having an awareness of their death constantly haunting them up in their minds. Once you' become aware of your own mortality, if you don't do some about it, you're going to be living in a pretty uncomfortable place almost constantly. What induces this terror in people is not the act of dying. People fear the implications of death - what our death will say about our lives and the things we did or didn't do while we were here on this planet. Some of the ways we live in denial of our death are far more obvious than others.
