I'd imagine that's it's all in the dying...
I think it's not necessarily the fear of pain and the inherent weakness (wrongly) attributed to that.
Not knowing how you will die is probably where most of the fear comes from.
High on the list would also be leaving responsibility behind, children, unfinished business etc.
As mentioned by many ppl, it's also handy in keeping one alive to do all of this, so unless you're a suicidal psychopath and don't care, which isn't healthy and a complete waste of a parent's time, then there's nothing wrong with fear, it's a form of respect.
and so it's not a weakness - it's a misunderstanding
