The Question; Should One Fear Death

 If one has a new car with that new car smell and life is finally a bowl of chocolate covered cherries maybe one fears death since it might be cold and dirty. If one has toothache, hunger and pain in an amputated arm, is far in debt and can’t get a job perhaps death seems like a pleasure sometimes- especially if thinking about the quality of presidential candidates. Fear though is ineffective at preventing death, so why use it if one likes effective thought? I would guess that it can be used as a stimulus to remain alive when that isn’t easy.
