For me what we regard as death is a very significant part of life. Transition to different dimensions of experience.
It's a form of freedom to the limitations of the body, plus this planet is full of pain I wouldn't want to stick around forever.
Death is a process it happens everyday, it started when we drew our first breath as an infant.

Reason we fear death is that we identify with our accumulations as ourselves.(fear is nothing but lack of knowledge) "EVERYTHING YOU ACCUMULATE CAN NEVER BE YOU" accumulations are bound to perish.
Your car, your house and all your possessions, a little deeper, your body, your mind and emotions all of this is yours not you , accumulated over a period of time, so who are you if not your accumulations. The consciousness/energy within the vehicle that is aware of life process, aware of the experience of pain, joy,anger, thoughts etc.

Who or what can kill energy?
Death is like recess to a soul still in the circle of incarceration and a graduation for those that brake the cycle.

I accept death as part of life

I am no longer afraid of death consciously (except if I get into a situation where my harmones will make me act otherwise). I think death of character and disappearance of life purpose is more dangerous than death itself. Everything comes into existence, lives it's existence and then ceases to be. Where it was before becoming existent or where does it go after ceasing existence, no one knows for sure, but I believe (only my opinion) that some things perpetuate their existence and human soul is one of the things that perpetuates for some time till it also ceases to be. I am not saying that it is possible to retain consciousness after the death of human body, but I think that soul, after death of old body will find a way eventually to have a new physical body and maybe perhaps also a consciousness.

I do not fear death....I fear re-incarnation and waking up in the same place and nothing has changed.....It is the only thing we are sure off. I am afraid of dying or living forever....that can get quite boring. If they invent immortality, they have to stop they aging process...I do not want to live 800 years and suffer from arthritis or any old-age condition for 720 years!

which buddhist are you talking about?

the ones with the english buddhist calender?

Hmm, no more worries, pain or rejection, sounds heavenly To me.

How is death taboo or out of bounds? Death is inevitable. There is no justifying nature. It's a normal and natural phenomenon; nature is nature. I would not extend my lifetime. If I die due to natural causes in my 80's or later, I'm sure I'll be ready to leave this world. I would not want to see more of it. I am not scared of dying. What is there to fear? Living in this world is far scarier than leaving it.

It never stops to amaze me, they go to a funeral, and they believe a third party whatever they say. yet does not do any searching for information on thier own. That is sad, if you were in a relationship with your wife, would you not have memories. and feel sad. same thing with Christ.
