The counterargument to the FOMO argument (that you missed out on the past and didn't care) doesn't quite work because you do get to experience the past... by being aware of it -- something that can't be said for the future. Additionally, the future holds the answer to where we (as a species) are ultimately heading. That is definitely something we will miss out on.

Death isn't what scares people, it's the cessation of life. The thought of never being able to experience anything for eternity strikes up feelings of terror in most people. I'm unsure if its a matter of self-preservational fear to keep us from carelessly dying, or something deeper only present in advanced sentient life, but I still feel that terror when I think about death despite knowing that death itself is nothing to fear.
Odd bit of cognitive dissonance.

Here's a interesting story that explains death in the first person. May 17, 2015 I died of a massive heart attack. For me it was a dreamless sleep. No pain even though I was electricuted 5 different times I never felt anything. 8 days later in a CCU the doctors told my kids that it was over they could do no more. Now (granted my son told me all this stuff after.) My kids were to return in the morning at 8 am and say good bye. The staff would then stop the machines keeping me alive. That night or morning I don't know, but I woke up, I felt the tube in my mouth and began to chew on it, my chewing set off the alarm and the nurse came in to the dark room turned on the light and saw me looking at him. It sounded to me far away but he yelled He's alive. From that point forward I felt everything that had been done to me. Coming back is the same as being born, nothing works, I had to relearn my life, walk, talk, just like a baby, it's been 5 years and I feel great, 1 big stent in the front of my heart fixed me. You know I can sometimes feel it. 😏
