Certainly all of us were afraid to die, especially those who understand the essence of life. But there are people who won't afraid to die, those who perceived life as meaningless, those who don't see and feel the beauty and purpose of living.
But life on earth is very short; one, ten, thirty, fifty, seventy, ninety, or even more than hundred years, those years of existence here on earth are very short period. The long and short period of existence are the same, you live long with many problems and sorrows, and live short with little problems and sorrows. Most of us aspire to live happily and conveniently, but how many people live conveniently in having more wealth and money.
What makes the difference between rich and poor, the poor has little while the rich have much. But who were more secure between poor and rich, the poor can sleep anywhere without bother in mind that they will kill or stole his belongings, while the rich stay in a fortress guarded with army so that his wealth and he himself will be secure. It's a big difference isn't it?
I will go back to the question that, "why were afraid to die?" Is it because were not yet satisfied with the kind of life we have, or we do not yet fulfill the dreams we want to be.
To become rich or poor for me is the same, the only difference is the experience we have, but if we understand the life we have here on earth, we will not crave for more but be contented with what blessing we have.
