If there's one thing I've always said about life it's this:
Don't take life too seriously, you never get out alive.
Anyway, death. I'm one of the few people who hasn't had anyone....close to me die yet. I wouldn't really know. I've always thought about other people dying as just going away, and you not seeing them again. Ever. But death, it really depends on your views. If you believe in the afterlife, or in becoming a ghost afterwards, or even reincarnation, then you wouldn't give a monkey's about death. Take the Egyptians. They believed a person goes to the afterlife after life, and they live again. Or take the Nac Mac Feegle (read "The Wee Free Men" and "Hat Full of Sky" by Terry Pratchett), they believed that the world they were in was the afterlife, and that when someone dies in the afterlife, they go back to real life to live again, and see all of their dead friends from the afterlife.
Me? If it comes, it comes. Embrace it like you would embrace a loved one. Be scared of it, and you will end up being like that all your life - always scared that it is round the corner, waiting for you. You will end up living life afraid of doing things. Embrace it, and you can do anything and not be scared of dying.
