View Full Version : Our fear of death has much more to do with fear of a failed life than actually dying

It’s not that we are scared that life will end, it’s that we constantly feel like we have not accomplished anything with our lives and that we have hurt others or let them down. I have no fear of death itself but I am petrified of life ending before I have accomplished the things I need to accomplish to achieve a successful life.

i'm more afraid of living
than i am scared to die
i'm more afraid of falling
than i am of flying high

every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

i'm more afraid of loving
than i am of being scorned
but i will keep on trying
though i have been forewarned

every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

i would rather me be lonely
and you have someone to hold
i'm not as scared of dying
as i am of growing old.

every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

Is it because I force you to think Johnny? Or is it because you are afraid to think?

actually, death, a failed life and dying are three different concepts, dying and a failed life closer connected to each other than both to the concept of death, hence i declare your thesis as badly executed and - quite pointless.
