Description
If you've lived your life to the fullest, then you really have nothing to fear from Death.Of course, it's perfectly reasonable to fear the things that can cause death...but death itself is an inevitability no matter how safe you think you are. So...the best thing you can do is to make sure your life was something worth living...and there's more to living than simply being 'alive'. Make the most of your time in the realm of the living because you can never really know when that time will run out.

I think it makes sense to at least fight dying if you can. Living on is better than being accepting of one's death.

So what if it comes out of nowhere? Or if it's instantaneous? Like I said in the description - you better make the best of your life while you can cause you never really know when it's going to end.
Ask most elderly folk on their death bed, and they'll likely tell you that their greatest regret is...not what they did in life, but what they didn't do.

That's my worst fear tbh. xD

Mayhaps instead of letting yourself get crippled by fear, you should make your potential last day on Earth worthwhile, hmm?
There was a man in Hawaii during a big bombing hoax that had everyone fearing for their lives. However, instead of freaking out, he decided he wanted to spend his possible last day playing golf. Sure the bomb threat turned out to be a hoax but...as far as he knew, he was gonna die that day.
If you knew exactly when you were gonna die, and knew that it was unavoidable, would you spend your last days paralyzed with paranoia? Or would you try to make the most of it? It's a serious question.

A fair point.
But if I knew that my impending death was 'unavoidable' the struggle to survive it in itself would my last act. But if it was truly unavoidable (not something like a nuclear blast, another similar manmade threat or an earthquake or tsunami, etc but more akin to a black hole or planetary colliding etc.) then I would probably opt to spend it with my loved ones and probably try to organise a D&D session and have fun.
