So why is death feared so much? I'm not condoning suicide by any means. I just think living in fear of death is essentially a waste of the life one has.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

It’s not that there is death and death is feared, it’s that death is a belief, and the belief feels quite off.
With some scrutiny of experience it can be noticed that while bodies are experienced to come & go, the awareness of experience never comes and never goes. Indeed, the truth is far stranger than any fiction.
