Are you afraid to attack your own fears?
Make more of your life. I like that one also, 'most' implies there's a limit to what you can make out of your life. I think 'more' more accurately reflects our nature.
Both the fear of life and death play into unknowns, but to not fear them would be quite irrational, yes? |

Your first question ... waxing lyrical a little bit, but Campbell seems to use the phrase often. I take it mean life is red in tooth and claw.... be part of it....or the Disneyish great
Great Circle of Life. Life feeds off death; death off life.... not a hundred percent sure.
On the second point I'm not sure we fear the unknown ... more likely we fear what we cannot (or do not) control.
