People who fear the unknown fear death.

| I don't fear my own death, but that of my family and loved ones- my mother, father etc. |

I feared death more before I had a precious little angel worth dying for. Now I only fear not being there to protect her and watch her grow up.

I am so sorry. a kid losing her mother can be the worst thing ever! when I was little, one of my good friends lost her mother(her mother had breast canser). she has seemed never happy since her mother died.
In this respect, I should stay healthy, I wanna keep my daughter happy. |

Death is afraid of me! Even I don't want to die now because I haven't reached all of my goals, or at least the mayority of them. I feel scared when I am traveling , when the bus, or airplane gives a false step. Wow. Some of my friends have died in that way or lost one of the members of their bodies.  |

Nobody wanna die now except the one who wanna die. Why do you have to scared when you are travelling, when the bus or airplane gives a faske step. Those connect closely with your daily life. I think you shouldnt pay attention to much about them. Fear makes your life stifling
You havent reached all of your goals...so concerntrating in them and take care your family and your close friends

Very good point, and worth remembering. Don't fear death. Instead, fear not truly living. Listen to this guy (warning, the lecture is almost 2 hours, but very good, inspiring, and good practice for listening to English). He is dying but refuses to stop living.

I think everybody fears of anything. It's not a shame that we fear of anything but it's a shame if someone can't face his fears.
For example I'm very frightened of kickboxing because someone could have punched me on my head and I may get mentally handicapped and fail the exam and my mom will shout at me because she paid my university fees.
But if I don't behave aggressively and if I don't punch my opponent he will have more chances to punch me and my danger of being handiccapped will increase.
PS: (I haven't listened to the lecture because it was too long)
PPS: My tip for all of you is to be brave like the guy in the video.

Yes, it was very long. I put it in the background so I could listen to it while I did my CAD work. but watch for the virtual reality demo. It's hilarious! And the scene where he brings out a cake and has the audience sing Happy Birthday to his wife, well, if that doesn't bring a tear to your eye you are just cold and inhuman.
