People who aren't afraid of dying, what makes you unafraid?

The only thing I am afraid of about dying is having those regrets people often talk about. It seems like many people turn to all the things they think they did wrong in their life as opposed to focusing on the positive memories.

@CrazyMusicLover yeah it's so terrible to focus on the negatives and not give ourselves credit for the things we have accomplished

@CrazyMusicLover Don’t you think that those regrets would last only momentarily and end once you have passed? Or do you think you will live an after life of regret?

@Stuffy I don't believe in afterlife. Once we die, we're gone. I just think it's a pity that the last thoughts some people have are regrets and that they feel like they wasted their life.

@CrazyMusicLover I don’t really believe in afterlife either.
From everything I’ve read about people who have “almost died” there is never any description of feeling terrible about regrets. So I don’t think you need to worry about that.
