Agreed.

Some people are scared of the judgement that they would receive when they die.

Anyways, I would say I am a bit of both. I am scared to die and I do not want to die, yet. I have no qualms with Death and see it as a new beginning. All things decay in this universe, but from that all things are born. Endless is the changing tides of the universe. So I think that when I die I will take upon a new life, somewhere in this world. On occasion I take the time and try to imagine what it would like to not be me, to live a different life, sometimes that involves me thinking what it would be like to be a squirrel. It is quite mind boggling really, thinking like a squirrel and seeing everything from that perspective.
