I’ve heard on different occasions that any fear we have as humans really comes down to a fear of death. At first I doubted it, but now I’m starting to re-consider it.

It’s pretty obvious that a fear like fear of flying or heights or spiders can be tracked down to a fear of death. Then there are other fears that are not that obvious. But maybe they can be interpreted in an indirect way, like fear of failure in life or fear of never finding happiness is pretty much a fear of not having an optimal life, and thus, a fear of death in it’s own way.

What do you think?
