Fear of death?

Interesting but I don't understand what fear of death is. Someone today said that she doesn't have the fear of death. I asked her how does she mean and the reply was that she lives now and then one day she will cease to and she doesn't care about what happens afterwards. According to me that is not not having fear of death, that is just not being worried about dying.

I spoke to Mo about it and her definition was some people know that they are going to die and don't have a problem where as some people freak out when they learn that they were going to die. Again, it is not because they are afraid of the dying process but they just don't want to die. You see that? When I started on explaining on the point that she is missing, she said that she doesn't want to talk about it any more.

Wedge on the other hand said that he has never contemplated on what fear of death is. Then he thought for a while and said that he wouldn't care if he knew he was going to die.

I infer that it is the feeling of "don't want to die" than anything else that people call fear of death.
