Why The Fear? Pt. 1

"Why do people fear death?" I once asked. I asked "Why? Why do you fear death?" The answer I got still confuses me. "I fear it because I don't know what it's like or what happens after it. It scares me." I couldn't understand it back then and I can't understand it now. It's the same with people though? You don't know what they are like, or how they are afterwards. How do you not fear people but you fear death? How do you fear that, what you come across everyday and can never predict how it'll end. But you fear the only thing that's your friend in the end. I don't understand it. I never feared death. I know what it's like to be feared and judged by everyone. It's difficult. But why fear death? The only thing, the only one that can save you anymore. The one that'll be with you when you get out of here.
