I don't fear death. Its a bummer and I want it to happen a long, long time from now, but I'm not afraid of it. I do have a few worries in life, one of which is developing some sort of diminished thinking capacity, like Alzheimer's or some sort of brain injury. I imagine if I developed the condition and didn't REALIZE I had it, it wouldn't be so bad on me, but it really worries me that I might know that I was in a diminished capacity in a Flowers for Algernon sort of way.
