TY for responding.

This is what I don't get, if you think there's nothing when you die, why even fear death?

This is EVERYTHING about the issue as far as I am concerned.

I don't know. I am a generally rational being, and I think that is a big part of it. How do you think you will FEEL on your death bed? Seriously? 1 second to go, and you are aware of it? I can't think of any worse feeling, and I know it's coming, and I know that nothing (else) matters.

The brackets are important, because 1) nothing matters (see OP) and 2) if nothing matters then ultimately all I have is my last 1 second.

P.S. I am not stubbornly trying to argue my point, I am genuinely hoping to understand something you all 'get'.
