If we fall, then we all fall, and we fall alone

The human psyche is a strange one. Nearly all other animals will never think to abandon friends or families at the sign of danger yet we as humans are quick to do so. I believe that this is our strength but also our greatest weakness. This every man for himself attitude to life can help if say the person you are abandoning knows that they are going to die and for you to stay would be pointless. Yet we abandon each other at the slightest possibility of danger. The reason behind this is that we are scared. Yes we are scared, of death perhaps , or perhaps what comes after. This can cause us to live maybe longer but eventually we will be alone and we all die at some point. I say that death should not direct our actions if death calls for you you should embrace it willingly but is this just another escape. An escape from the chaotic world that we are born into. Some people believe that there is an afterlife that is the light at the end of the dark tunnel that is our world.I propose that there is nothing. The reason behind this is that I believe that we cannot accept death no matter how much we say we do. We are born into this world and slowly gain full control of our actions we see what we want to and do as we wish. Therefore I believe that we cannot fathom ourselves being nothing with none of those things. Another reason I believe is behind the afterlife belief is that humans are rather self centred and we do not like to believe that this is it, that after we die in 60 years or so we will be but a vague memory to those left, if we are that even. The point is that we all die and we run from this all our lives but we cannot run forever.
