The thought problem:
Death is literally apart of life. Whenever you say the word "life" or think about life of any kind in general you should have death as part of your universal emotional and rational attachment to that life.
The outcome of holding too high a fear of death:
In many cases it is a mistake to dwell on death or consider that you owe your life to a cause as a result of holding this belief.
A healthy fear of death:
Keeping yourself safe. Buying life/health insurance. Going to the doctor. Caring for your physical and psychological needs. Talking about it with your family when appropriate. etc
Conclusion/extrapolation:
This is a one way road. You started at birth/self consciousness and you will end with death/no consciousness. To fret or fear or fuss about the future unknown is common and understandable - extrapolated to "the end" of your consciousness is just another unknown.
If we can agree that before you were born you were "not alive" is the exact description of death... then what is the argument that post-life will be any different than pre-life?
