Death, it can be safely said, is probably the most feared thing on the face of Earth. Its common knowledge though, that not to fear death, is an eminence of Saints and Prophets. Those asked are unable to explain why they fear death so much. After much thinking, I have reached the conclusion that there are possibly three reasons for people to fear death.
Firstly, by fearing death, a person actually fears the unknown. No one knows for sure what will happen to them once they die. Thus, this fear of the unknown, that always accompanies man, makes him fear death and dark alike.
Secondly, the thought that we will have to answer our deeds in the hereafter, frightens us. This is because there are not many persons who are satisfied that they haven't harmed a man by either hand or tongue and have done good deeds throughout their lives. We all speak white lies shamelessly, and do many awful things, some unintentional, while the others we overlook by thinking them worthless. These thoughts come to us as soon as we think of death.
Thirdly, we are too much in love with the world and its superficial beauties. We can't even think of leaving it and its charms. The thought of leaving the world forever itself is dreadful.
These were the main reasons for people to fear death. I came to these conclusions after a thorough study of human nature, which, can never be fully understood.

Very thoughtful answer.
A very impressive answer. I can only wonder how so many people can say they believe in heaven and hell with such certainty.

People fear death because they have seen dead people (even in a funerel).
Dead people never come in their old body ever again. It is an end. Nobody have returned from death alive. It is a hidden thing, an unknown; what happens after the death.
