Everyone dies. It's a certainty in life. To live is to die and to die is to have lived. I've seen death many times and been around dying people and how is it terrifying?
You don't know that you've never died, so you have no idea what happens at that moment. You only see what happens to a body. Wait till you get a death causing malady, then you won't have to ask what's so scary about that level of pain and distress. If people were so unafraid of death they'd be committing suicide on a huge scale to avoid the dying process and suffering. But you don't see that because big talk is just big talk.
"Good" is subjective. Why would I give all of my possessions away? They're mine.
You were the one making all kinds of subjective definitions about selfish and good, judging my motives. Using words that you don't even know the meaning of or unwilling to back them up?
You can attempt to negate all emotion and embrace reason, logic, and empiricism. That doesn't require "robot-esque" qualities.
Reason, logic and empiricism already embrace emotion as part of their process. You can't rationally separate thought from the human brain, it's the source and origin of those terms. You only *think* you're special.
