Death

The great majority of people will answer they're "not afraid of death". This is one of those shields our mind naturally builds in order to make us able to advance in life and actually build things.

The true, mental realization of one's death takes a while to achieve. I went all the way through it a couple times and I must admit it froze me with a kind of organic, ancestral terror every times. With proper introspection soon comes the realization that we are the only true vector that makes the world exist to us. Thus, and all religious beliefs put aside, death not only means the end of your life, but the end of the world. The end of everything. Imagining what nothing is like takes a while too, but when it hits you ...

Anyway, it's an interesting experience. Forces you to analyze the mental barriers you naturally built, and eventhough it is frightening, it's a matter of seconds before the shields come back in place, leaving you only with a distant impression of that feeling of nothingness you took so long to reach.

But yeah, in everyday life I don't care about dying nor do I worry about it. Like Frank said, handicap and oldness are naturally bigger preoccupations.
