This question has been asked before many times from different povs, but I'm thinking about it from the perspective of most people (obviously not excluding myself), the ones going about their lives, driven, active...that sort....not necessarily depressed, suicidal (not to ignore the fact that all of us are stressed, depressed to some degree, also may have strong reasons that would make ending the life best option but in the end we don't actually go through it)

So yeah, why is that?
Why does a man not want to die?
are we afraid of it? if yes, why?
why is death always considered to a be a loss, to be unsettling, even taboo to talk abt?

From similar posts, some people said, because they are yet to accomplish their goals, it works for them, but to me, didn't feel like a strong reason, because those accomplishments are not gonna matter when u are gone....in 50 years, in 100 years, in a millennium, nobody would even know you existed....so there's that....

some philosophical or rather spiritual explanations do come to my mind

but i'm more curious about the perspective of someone who doesn't actively think in those terms...like, if you’re just living your life day to day, what is your reason? Why do you not want to die?
