Fear of Impermanence and Insignificance

The terror experienced by individuals stems not solely from the fear of death itself but from the implications death has on the meaning of our lives. People grapple with the anxiety surrounding their mortality, specifically the fear of living a life that may be deemed insignificant and the inevitability of impermanence. This fear influences human behavior and drives individuals to seek meaning and validation in their lives. Ultimately, the dread of a life unfulfilled or lacking in significance is a profound motivator in human actions.
