You are quite correct in raising this doubt!.

We think death is terrible because we fear it and that is because it is natural for us to fear the unknown!.!.!.!.!. it is precisely because we do not know what happens after death!. You are absolutely right!.!.!. our fear may in fact be totally misplaced, but there is no way for us to know!. However, a stage comes in life after long years of living when one begins to feel neutral about death, especially because health deterioration makes life much less attractive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because its something we humans haven't been through yet!. Remember you're losing your identity, everything comes down to that final moment!. You may cease to exist for eternity and in your mind you feel you'll never see your dead relatives ever again!. It's a gamble unless there is some high power out there!. If that's the case then your just being moved somewhere else!. People who have died and been brought back say its painful up until they die, at that point they feel an overwhelming sense of peace and love accompanied by that infamous bright light!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I personally dont fear death as much as I should, but i think it's considered terrible because:

1!.You stop living!. The absence of life is upsetting to alot of people!. People like to live, haha!.
2!. Your absence is upsetting to those who loved you
3!. The fear of the unknown!. (what will happen when I die!? How do you simply cease to exist!? Is there really Heaven and Hell!?) These questions are what keeps me up at night!. (not really)Www@QuestionHome@Com

people who live happily fear death because they fear their joy will come to an end!. the body also instinctively fear death and pain!. people just imagine what death is like and most picture it as bad event!. they look at movies of people dying and they often see a lot of pain so people think death is bad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

part of it is that rotting smell one developes post mortum, then of course your complexion changes to marble green, your eyes cloud over and collapse, and you lose that whole "get-up-and-go" feeling!. Most of your friends will find you boring to hang out with and your appetite will most certainly diminish!. It just isn't cool really!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

your right in a sense but think about the way many people die!. think about the effect it leaves on a child who seen their fathers head blown off!. maybe death is not a bad thing but the way it is achieved and the impact it leaves on another life can be terribleWww@QuestionHome@Com
