Do we fear death? Why?
When considering why something is the way it is, I have noticed that one's background always plays a large part. In regard to death, one views death as a bad or negative thing, unless death has always been viewed in a different light. We live in a culture that is somewhat uncomfortable with death.
How would life be different though if we were not afraid of death? How would our actions be changed?
Do we live for our deaths?
How does our belief of "life" after death affect present life?

Why isn't right wrong?
Right and wrong is determined from one's experience. If one were to have lived in a different area, the perception of good and evil would be changed and, subsequently, our actions would be drastically different.

We fear death because death is the unknown. Man is so accustomed to knowing and having the knowledge even if the knowledge is small. However with death, we know nothing about what happens after death. We've created ideas, but we have no proof for any of them. Death is a mystery, and so we fear it.
