Contemplation of one’s own death is a complex affair. Some people fear the approach of dying, others fear the moment of death, a few long to get it over with. Some fear ceasing to exist, others fear continuing to exist in an unimaginable way, and others hope for a promised paradise. Some experience the sadness of anticipated separation from loved ones, and others feel jealous of those who will survive without them. It is simply impossible to guess what another person means when they are considering their mortality.
