Do you fear death? Why or why not?

Klotild this is true nearly dying has made me appreciate my life so much more

Which is just an empty phrase. Both from literature and real life I know that near death experience can change a lot. You can turn your whole life around and become a different person as a result... Not necessarily, and not everyone... but still, it is an extremely meaningful experience.

Death is an existential phenomenon. It is also a phenomenon with inevitable and universal aspects at the same time.
In our birth, there is always the motivation to stay alive. For this reason, the underlying cause behind all our fears is that we must perceive something that threatens our lives and threatening our alive form.

For example, the real reason behind our fear of starvation or darkness is that it threatens our lives and It is nearing death. As a result, if we have fears in our daily lives, we mean that we are afraid of death and dying, whether we accept it or no

The purpose of the quote was to communicate his nihilistic and pessimistic views towards the fragility of life. He knows that nearly dying changes a lot, but still, comparatively it changes nothing when compared with death. Yes, in our day to day lives it means we think we are lucky to have survived and our outlook on life changes, but its still nothing relative to having no outlook at all.
