They encourage us not to use I in assignments and the like and to be impersonal and general with our statements.
I was merely listing/elaborating on a few common fears/phobias surrounding death.
Sure there are people out there who don’t fear death or fear it for different reasons than the ones I delved into and I do apologize if it appeared I was trying to speak for everyone.
Just sharing some knowledge about psychological triggers that cue us to fear death.
Again....please excuse my ignorance.
Aw Wolfy, no bullshit about ignorance
I know you’re a smart guy...it’s just that sometimes I
can’t tell if you’re sort of “declaring” something or merely sharing a personal thought (it’s a little pet peeve of mine I guess...I try my best to avoid absolutes of any kind).
I shouldn’t have brought it up...but it was something I wanted to comment on for awhile.
Anyway, I know I’ve come off as arrogant now, since it’s just your writing style and there’s really no reason for me to bug you about it.
you know what? don’t listen to me anyway..I’m silly

And your thoughts on death were good ones, particularly as you get older I think (to a certain point), that’s really when you start to fear those unfinished and unresolved things. I know I fear dying before feeling some sense of “accomplishment”.
