Death isn't scary, but our view of it is. We were already dead for 14 billion years and that doesnt seem to bother anyone. The next 14 billion will be much the same.

If anything, a bunch of inanimate matter suddenly springing up and wreaking havoc is the scary reality. If a bunch of sand on the beach suddenly became conscious and started talking to me, and swallowing people up, that would be far freakier than death itself.
