i guess now were moving to talking about the meaning of life,
for me, i gotta say life itself is meaningless, however the meaning to life is based on the fact that its meaningless, for life to be meaningful we gotta give it a meaning, therefore the definition of meaning from my pov is simply going through time and enduring whatever time throws at you, such as working, going to school. rather the meaning of life is a diary that has a beginning and an end, in between that time frame, one will be writing their meaning of life from start to end. my meaning of life. so should one fear death, i gotta say no one shall not fear death, if death is the sole concept of death itself, however if death is the the result of an inference from a fear, then we can look at death and that fear as one concept, ex. a man is about to be shot, the man that is going to be shot shall fear death, because being death is now the product of being shot and one shall fear being shot at.
possible objections: being shot leads to death, therefore the 2 concepts are conjoint and are relative.
response to objection: i am not trying to prove that fearing of being shot and death is not the same, however i am just saying that death as a sole concept on its own shall not be feared, as both the philosophers epicurus and socrates has reasoned.
