Yes, to an extent. There's also the occasional thought that you're wrong about consciousness coming to an end after death, or maybe that you will experience the last moments of your life for eternity. All totally irrational, so it can be stopped by a good old bit of reason. It also helps to be very motivated about things you find important, so you can give as much meaning to your life as possible. Fear doesn't stand a chance against positive emotion and logic.michel said:Strange, because, to me, if we ceased to exist completely (ie there is no soul), you wouldn't even be conscious of being dead........so presumably it is the thought of your life coming to and end that bothers you ?
