Not being afraid of death itself and having complete disregard for your life. Paradoxical but plausible.
this has absolutely nothing to do with what i was saying

Quote:
You do not fear death because you realize that all accomplishments will be expunged through time and the length of your life is nothing relative to infinity. However if you do believe in heaven, etc. why don’t you just end your life? Because there’s an obligation with that belief.
the point is that, if one does not fear death, one would make no effort to avoid dying. You would have no reason to pay attention to traffic signals or walk on the sidewalk instead of the middle of a highway because death is that unimportant to you. Taking any precautionary measures is a fear of death, and not having that fear of death would be a disregard for life.

This is entirely acceptable within your definition of "not fearing death" because it's still completely ambiguous.

If I have an aversion to death at the moment, it's because of my subjective reality, to which "infinity" is not at all relevant.

your dumb, however, is an absolute reality
