Worse than death is not being able to develop a goal and a burning desire in life! Human being is the highest manifestation in the cosmic life cycle. It is only as a human being one can gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and reach the stage of salvation (moksha).
Gaining enlightenment and finally salvation is no less an achievement. It can be achieved only after having crossed 8.4 million manifestations and a total life cycle of 96.4 million earthly years. Having manifested as a human being... how is it that human beings while away their life without having a fixed goal in life... a burning purpose... something that makes the present life more enjoyable and livable.
It is this power of discrimination that differentiates a king from a laborer (power of discrimination is almost absent in insects, plants and animals... all the lower forms through which all human beings have already passed). Where lay the difference? The difference is only in the mental prowess. The capacity to think... and think wisely is the onus of every human being... a birthright in fact!
Human beings do not manifest the form of a human being just to live for money. Money has never been the goal of wise people... it is only a means to an end! Materialistic gains no doubt are necessary to live a happy life but it is not the end of life as we see it today. The wanton desires not only within children but also adults’ presents a precarious situation world over.
Life is to be found beyond the mundane affairs of life. How many times has one climbed the Mount Everest, surfed beyond the capacity into the high seas, sat by a lonely brook in the high mountains with the Love of your life! Very few in the world are truly lucky to do that! It is these wise men who have finally taken their destiny under control.
Why worry of death which is immanent... it will come one day as it comes to all! As we have the day and night, fire and water we also have life and death... both being different sides of the same coin. Why weep over the inscrutable will of the Creator, the Almighty God who created us all!
Let us resolve to develop a burning desire... a goal of life which leads us towards the passion of our life... something we really enjoy doing! It is then we shall truly manifest our destiny and finally overcome the fear of death! More on fear of death here- http://www.godrealized.com/Death.html

Fear that I can't always protect my kids. I hate my daughter being at her friends and playing outside. I have terrible nightmares that I take my eyes off them for a minute and terrible things happen and it's all my fault. That fears me as much as dying.

I do not fear death, what I do fear is spending the rest of my life in a sad, lonely, hopeless, loveless place.
