the question is also what is death. is death dying in the common sense of the
word or is it death as in i will bear no children therefore my genes will not
live on, or is it death in the sense that the world is dying. we all want to
protect ourselves from dying (in its common sense), examples of people whose
behavior is to prevent the world from dying are: environmentalists, many
groups and churches (the church of euthansia pops to mind quickly).
now i could relate all the desires he mentioned as the opposite of a fear but
i cant remember what all the desires were. ill make some examples, the need
for companionship/community is due to the fear of being alone. being alone
and dying is a predator/prey instict where if you were not part of a tribe or
a pack, you were hunted.
