Fearless?

       Death. The final calling of any and living being. There is no escaping it, no way of bypassing it. Death is fixed, Permanent and –most of all- inevitable. It’s the thing that dwells in the unknown, revealing itself only to those who have reached the end of their path. Whether it is hell or heaven, reincarnation or infinite darkness, whatever it may be- death is all around us, lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce, and take advantage of everyone’s deepest and darkest fears as it does so 
      Death is fear, translated down into everyday terms. The fear of spiders, is really the fear of the tiny pinchers, bathed in poison, ready to bite their next victim. The fear of things that go bump in the night, is really the fear of what they just might do to you in your sleep. The fear of flying, is the fear of the death that would follow if the engines of the planes were to fail. People’s fears, whether it’s of insects, fairy-tale creatures, germs, war, or maybe even people with beards – the list that goes on and on, and all have one thing in common. They are all linked to death.              Everyone has one fear, one fear that plays on the ancient and primal phobia of death. One thing that makes their heart rate double, that sends shivers down their spine, a feeling which creates an un-healthy churning-sick feeling deep within your stomach.
       They say that there is nothing to fear, but death itself. But what happens when you no longer fear death, what do you fear then? What is there left to fear? It everyone has one fear, and there is nothing to fear but death itself, then what? What do you fear?
 This peice above was writen by an author on the ever so famous online ebook website, Wattpad. I loved this part of the story and had to put it up. 

Go and check out the book, it's called 'Fearless?' and the book trailer is below. PLEASE check it out.
“The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there is no risk of accident for someone who is dead.”
