Natural instinct to not want to die. It's pretty simple everyone has it; even you.

Let's say your in a room with everyone you have ever known and most of the things you want. Every now and then someone new will enter the room through one of two doors. They don't remember what was on the other side of the door or even coming through it, no one in the room does, but everyone is glad the new person is there. Every now and then someone you know very well leaves through the other door and everyone is sad. People often leave by the second door and it can happen at anytime and no one has ever come back. There are stories, but no one really knows what happens when you go through that second door. This is why most wish to never find out. We grow and "find ourselves" in our world and become very satisfied and content. Why leave? Everyday we look at death without a thought. The fly, the ant, the flower. Everything is fine until the day we stop and give it a thought. We realize right then we are lucky for even having a moment to reflect and at the same time wondering if we wouldn't have been happier having never thought about it. This begins the great debate in our minds about what lies ahead for us. Growth is positive, and we like that. Death is uncertainty and that is scary and we don't like that. Pretty simple.

People don't want to stop living because they want to experience the world more or w/e. But not everyone doesn't want to die, they accept death and know that their life will end.

Because people are scared of death, and anything attached to it. They think that if they don't acknowledge it, it won't happen to them. The problem is, once it does most times their world comes crashing down. 80% of marriages end after the death of a child. Those are staggering numbers. Oh well you can't force people to talk about things they don't want to, but I could go on and on about many things that I have learned from my experience. So anyone feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can help in alot of ways. Some is very valuable information. Hope this helped.

Death is the unknown. As we grow, we can always learn from those who are older than us. There isn't anyone to let us know what death really is and what lies beyond.
