Not sure if I'm an anomaly, but I don't feel this way.

I'm perfectly at peace being at the back-end of my life.

I wish I had this peace of mind regarding death. Perhaps I would find it when/if I live to your age.

As it is now, I think I'm the most death-obsessed person in my social environment. As in, I think about it daily and am terrified of it while others either think they'll live forever, don't think about it much or dismiss it as a "natural thing" (as if it made it somehow calming).
