Why do people avoid directly expressing the desire: "I don't want to die"? It's not just about disappointment: it will happen anyway, so why upset yourself? It's not just about becoming an outcast: people will think you're strange. The fear of death doesn't raise social status. It's about the need for a complete overhaul of one's worldview. Everything must be reassessed. We all consider people whose actions will lead to our death in the future to be bad. But we also can't call those who do nothing, leading to our death, good either. "I don't want to die" is a breakdown of moral principles, if, of course, this desire is overwhelming. "I don't want to die" is a true new ethic, where everything is subordinated to the struggle for existence. You must behave differently if you seriously don't want to die. Calls for the fight for life cause an unpleasant feeling that comes from any moralizing. All these considerations require energy, which the brain deems unacceptable. All these considerations take time to understand what to do. "I don't want to die" is a confrontational position. It's a demand for everyone to act against death. The struggle for existence is a confrontation with the world. Can we do without a struggle? Yes, it has been done before and turned out poorly.
