I'm not ready to die by any means, but death is a fact of life. We have to accept our own mortality or we wind up living in fear of it. I'm not ready to die, I don't want to die ever, but it doesn't scare me and when it happens I think I will be okay. I don't really believe in the after life, my biggest concern about death is that I don't want my loved ones to mourn me.
I agree with what you're saying about not wanting it versus you not being afraid of it, but don't you think that kind of view is selfish? Not wanting someone to mourn you sounds a little self-centered. It seems like you don't want to feel the guilt of leaving others behind.
This brings me to my main point in response to this question. I, by no means, want to die, but circumstances determine how willing I am to accept it. To leave others in this world with a bad aftertaste would definitely not be something I would strive for, so to avoid that, make the most of life. That's what I would do to solve the issue.
