Death an end or a new beginning?

Death is an enlightening start (of course, don't try to pinpoint start with a time point) instead of a frightening end.

Self creates the illusion of "I" in your identity, making you think you are not part of the universe. Everything is built upon electrons, up and down quarks (matter = energy) at the sub-atomic level.

So, how can it be frightening?
