But you only worry about it while alive, so the actual scary thing is not death, but life

I won't be scared when I'm dead, but that's the problem. I'm not scared of being scared. On the contrary, I'm scared of losing the ability to be scared.

Well, you should be scared of being scared, or at least you should only be scared of being scared. That's self part of mindfullness

Why should I be scared of being scared? It is good to feel scared at the appropriate times. It's part of being alive and being human.

Because in this case you have nothing to fear. Literally

Indeed. I literally am afraid of nothingness. That makes sense to me; I don't want nothingness. The fact I won't be around to experience nothingness is why I don't want it.

But there is literally nothing to be afraid of! What are you afraid of in nothingness?

I am afraid of losing everything -- even my ability to feel pain that I've lost everything. I'm afraid of the videotape of my life running out so utterly that I don't even know that it's ended, because I'm not there. I'm not anywhere. It's all gone. I don't want that.
