Death is final. This is scarier than any Hell could be. There is no
afterlife. Throughout history, the Afterlife has been used as the
Final Prize. "Be good all your earthly life, do what we say, and
you'll receive eternal life and rewards in Heaven. Be bad, and burn
forever in Hell." But for each of us, life is finite. Once the end
comes, that's it. No clouds, no wings, no harps, no pitchforks, no
burning sulphur, nothing. Not even blackness forever nothing. Nothing
Nothing. It's hard for the mind to comprehend, since it's never been
experienced before.

But, do not fear death to the point of being afraid to live. Don't
invite Death to tea, but don't lock yourself in a room trying to avoid
him; it won't work. Live life to its fullest, so that when your life
flashes before your eyes, it's one hell of a movie. It should be an
action/adventure/comedy/drama, perhaps with a kickass musical soundtrack.
