"I saw fear, fear of the unknown, fear of what he hadn't accomplished, fear he couldn't protect those he left behind." Except for fear of the unknown, these things are fears related to life not death. As far as the unknown goes, of course I don't know exactly what I will face in death. If somebody told me my time would be up in three minutes or so, I imagine I would be overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions about the unknown that I am about to enter. Fear just isn't one of the emotions that comes to mind. I have come close on a couple of occasions and I fought and struggled to survive as most people would. In these cases I would have died a very uncomfortable death and besides it just doesn't seem rational to just give up the body I've been given charge of without a fight. I saw a tv show where some wolves were attacking the calf of an Elk. The Elk cow did everything she could to chase the wolves away from the calf until it was hamstrung on the ground. When the death of the calf was established, she went to calmly eating some grass a few feet from where the wolves were devouring thier prey. I hope you see my point here, I do feel driven to make my life work as long as possible and in the best possible way. I am, however, comfortable with the idea of it ending.
