Aside from philosophical points, as perspective on mortality seems highly personal, can one differentiate between a fear of physical death and a fear of regret of the unrealized? i.e., a fear of the experiences one may miss out on upon dying? There are obviously many facets to the concept of death, but that one, in its childishness, petulance, and selfishness, seems to be the crux of it. I will definitely admit to a reluctance to sacrifice the unknown.
That, and I don't want to be found in any positions/situations that compromise my dignity.
