If people would make an all-out effort to contemplate their own death, to deal with their anxieties surrounding the concept of death, and to help others familiarize themselves with these thoughts, perhaps there could be less destructiveness around us. But if a whole nation, a whole society suffers from such a fear and denial of death, it has to use defenses, such as "shoot1st" and the "dominoe theory" which can only be destructive. Wars, riots, and increasing numbers of murders and other crimes may be indicators of our decreasing ability to face death with acceptance and dignity.

>>Why are we all scared to die?<<

The fear of death is a universal fear. What has changed is our way of coping and dealing with death and dying. Most people just love to live and enjoy life.
