General - What scares you? - View Post

When I was young, I was afraid of heights. And by the time I got to be a teenager, I realized that I was ultimately afraid of death.

I remember being told, when I was very young, that the sun will explode in billions of years and wipe out earth. And I was frightened, not realizing that I would die way before then. I'm not sure about everyone else, but the concept of death didn't even click with me when I was a child.

One day, when I was about 14 or 15 years old, I imagined what death is like. I could not sleep for 2 days. I wouldn't be so frightened of death if I knew I could come back from it, but that's just not the case.
