Ayella explores reason why humans fear death

"Do not be afraid to die, our fear of death has nothing to do with death. It is usually the fear of losing what we have accumulated that makes us fear death," he wrote.

In the letter, Ayella explored why humans fear death, pointing out the attachment to worldly accumulations such as wealth, knowledge, experiences, and memories.

"There is always something comforting about honesty, even when many people hate it. That's what I always hear my friends say, "I have young children, if I die now, what will happen to them" Such is the reason people fear death. But in many ways, May the Departed Rest Well!>"
