Remember as a young child when you first grasped the concept that you are going to die some day? When did you stop obsessively worrying about it? The worst I can remember is from maybe 3 to 5 or so. I remember being scared and unable to sleep because old age and death was approaching and there was nothing I could do about it. There had to be a solution to the problem. I was frustrated because I couldn't figure out a solution no matter how hard I racked my brain and it was like a slow feeling of impending doom. Then, I eventually said screw it and lived my life at about 5 or so, figuring that if I couldn't do anything about, I wouldn't think about it and I would simply try to enjoy my life. At what age did you stop being scared of old age and dying when you were a child?
33 years and counting ill let you know unless i die 1st OH GOD OBLIVION AWAITS US ALL LIFE IS CRUEL MISTAKE THE VOID COMES!!!!
You weren't terrified as a child when you realized you were going to die and you knew it was creeping up on you?
I was fairly young when Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone came out, and a quote from that has stuck with me and shaped my view on death: "To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure". Because of that, I've never had anxiety about death, but more of a curiosity.

Giving children an understanding of death is easy. All you need is a hammer and a hamster.
That is sick...

OK, then. Have them go out in the back yard and choose which chicken they will have for lunch.
My innate view was I guess an assumption I made as a child that it simply ends. You no longer exist. I actually had to be taught the idea of a religious afterlife.
Really!! Then i guess you would not be interested in my opinion on how to teach children about sex then. All you need there is a bag of sweets and a kid who can keep a secret.
Big difference in killing for food and killing for the mere fun of it...
That was not suggested as fun, It was to be educational.
