No one should fear death. It's such a waste of time, while we are still living, to try to prevent death from coming to visit. Its just a natural cycle of life.

In my opinion, lots of people fear death and that's why the churches are full of old people on Sunday. Otherwise, if they don't fear death, why would they dwell on the possibility of an afterlife? I believe they fear the possibility that they might actually go nowhere. And they desperately want to feel as though they will be going somewhere nice after they die. They fear the alternative.....nothingness.
If no one dwells on their health or diet, who are all those people shopping at health food stores? Who are all those people buying health and diet books from the health-section at the book store? Why does the Daily Sun have at least 3 weekly columns on diet and health? Why are there so many health clubs in The Villages? Why is there a Medical and Health Discussion board? Why do people get degrees in nutrition and diet (dietitions)? Why are schools trying to serve healthier school lunches?
I believe that a good healthy diet, along with some exercise, is an affirmation of life or a celebration of life. And if there is a God, God will approve of his creation being treated with care and respect.
