I think the point the philosopher Epicurus made is a good one.
"When we exist death is not, and when death exists we are not. All sensation and consciousness ends with death and therefore in death there is neither pleasure nor pain. T
he fear of death arises from the false belief that in death there is awareness."
I thought that's
why everyone feared death. yeah without consciousness there's neither pleasure nor displeasure but it means that there is no hope for anything after that. you are stuck there forever even if you aren't aware of it.
