Our lives are so busy. We are moving every second & we don't really have time to think about dying. It is something no one likes or feels comfortable talking about. Morrie tries to explain that if you enjoy your life then you will not be afraid of death. i believe that is true.. it your life well, sucked then obviously you'll be scared to die. It is a feeling of not accomplishing anything, but if you lived life as best you could & did everything you could to enjoy it it will be easier to let everything go.
American culture is very materialistic. We like our cars, flat screens, ipods, & everything else we have. It is a scary thought for most of us (I know this is true for me) to go through the day without my cellphone. I think that many people think about death as just laying there with nothing. You don't know what to expect & of course you won't have that $200 cellphone or $2000 computer. It is hard to imagine a day without those things, but thinking about a whole
eternity without them makes the thought of death that much harder.
I think it's hard to think about death as a good thing until we've lived long enough to do the things we want to do and make the best out of it, so I definitely agree with you =]
