Abstract

Why death is not as scary as it sounds? This is the question this paper attempted to answer. To do so, the paper discusses the problem from three aspects. First, the two possibilities about what will happen after we die. Second, the wrong image in our mind for the process of dying. Third, fear of losing loved ones. Through the discussion from these aspects the paper arrived at a conclusion that death should not be a fearful topic to reflect on. Readers, by realizing this idea, will be able to live at present which will then lead to a more productive life style.
