Why is death feared so much?

But I don't think I wouldn't ever consider it dishonorable.....

And that's totally your right to do so but it would sure help to know what point(s) you disagree with. That way I could explain more fully why I made it/them.

As we get older our perspectives on life can change we look at things differently

It's only after we've reached older age, Native spirit, that we can know for sure whether we've changed much from the way we used to be when less old..... Some - as with yourself - may change little in their behaviours and outlook. Others (as with myself) may change a great deal. Everybody else will fit somewhere in between those two extremes.

I know that I HAVE CHANGED immeasurably from how I was up to my late 30s. As I've grown older I've become far more giving towards others yet I have not completely changed - I can still get pretty annoyed at times! lol
