That is where the staff holders come in, preying on your fears. That is why eastern religions do not want you to be much attached to self.

i fear death only because i won't be able to be around if someone tryes to drag my name though the mud, having no control over how you are rememberd is tricky.

But this is exactly what I have trouble understanding: If you won't be around, and you will have no form whatsoever, what would it matter what anyone said about you?

i life to leave my mark on the world, i don't want people messing up the mark i left since if they do i won't be able to alter it

when im dead corrupting the memory of me is like corrupting me since its the only remaining thing of me

Haha, will it matter to you? Actually, people may hardly remember you for long. Why do you want your memory to be perpetuated? There is a song in Hindi which says 'pass on from the world as if you were never there'.

Well i left certain marks on the world that will last for a long time ,(mostly by people seeing there psyciatrist )

wel its like making a nice drawing then having someone rip it up when your not looking at it exept you know in advance that someone is gonna rip it up, would you wanna take your eyes of off it when you know all your hard work will be for nothing?

Not really. You pretty much nailed it.

Do you fear Death ? (I am presuming that you believe that there is nothing left of you after death than the memories of those still living of you).

death can be defined as a physical process where the brain and the heart fail to response but the trust remain intact, how so ?
There has to be something bigger afterall inside or outside this physical universe for none of our big brains ( cosmologists) have been able to explain the existance of dark matter for exemple
why worry enjoy life when you die you will have all the time to think about this subject

It seems to me people think there is more to them then just their body... they believe they have a noncorporeal form or an eternal spirit or someother fantasy. Reincarnation.

There is of course no proof so people make their own proof and pass it on like a virus.

What is surprising is those that believe there is more to life after death fear death even more then those who believe death is the end... I guess most do in my experience.
