There are many that know there is no dichotomy between life and death as you state it.
What you claim are not facts but assumptions,theories,speculations.
You are implyng that death bears no relation to life. And you know this how?

What has been said has been said, if it doesn't make sense, let it go.

Your implying I can't understand what your saying.
I fully understand and totally disagree. There is nothing to "get".
On this issue you are flat out wrong. There is nothing to let go or make sense or not worry about. You are wrong here. I don't have to ponder or study more. It's clear.
You should ponder on where I am coming from rather than assuming you are right on this matter.

Asif, it's really simple.

Like i said, if what's being said doesn't make sense to you, naturally best option is to to forget all about it and let it go. Which is what i would do, or any reasonable person will do. Which is what i suggested earlier, and will suggest again.

You do the same. While you are at it, go back and read the ones prior to it.

I have read them. If you want to give advice but not apply it to yourself,then don't bother with responding.
It's clear you are trying to preach your opinions here.

If everything is so "clear" to you, you shouldn't have any problems discarding and walking away. Or is trolling the name of your game?

Alright, you win.

As a passing remark, i have a suggestion, watch out for those reactions that make you do what you do. Right when they arise.

It's just a suggestion, has no authority, so you may disregard i also if you wish.

True, ignorance cancels fear, except that awareness of one’s ignorance can spur fear.

Yes. That's why in OP one started by saying, "All fear is the fear of death",.

If one observes, there are two kinds of death. One biological when the organism dies, and one psychological when one's sense of self (an image) routinely dies . The latter happens every time we experience shock, pain, grief, sorrow etc. The sense of self, the "me", is obviously entwined to both the body and the psyche.

So when moments of uncertainty arises in ones' life, it immediately triggers fear via the pathways of experience and memory. For example one may think: i was hurt yesterday, i may get hurt tomorrow,, or, i was insure yesterday i may be insecure tomorrow.

Unable to cope with the fear of death (whether physical or psychological) the mind believes in some ideas. Without getting into the legitimacy of those ideas, the fact remains that any movement towards those ideas is a movement of fear trying to find security.

This is the reverse side of the coin. I have already in detail gone into the observe side of the coin, prior to this post.
