Why do we fear death?

Even if we are given 1000 years to live happily and peacefully, we would till fear death!
Why is that? Even a great many men feared dying and every person fears it without a doubt!
What is the reason for fearing it when we have lived the life as our wishes?
I think what we fear is the feeling of unknown.
What is your opinion?

Researchers refer to the fear of death as “death anxiety.” In recent decades many books and scientific reports have been written on the topic. Still, most people prefer not to think about death. The reality of death, however, forces us to think about it sooner or late

Right on spot! We choose not to think about death. But what do you think is the reason for the anxiety?

We fear death because death will make us away from our loved ones, luxuries and pleasure of this world and death also take away our dreams and achievements. I think these are the main reasons people fear death.
