How to use "Scared death" in context?
Death is one of the most feared things in the world. We instinctively recoil when we think about it and gulp when we think someone might die in our presence. It's hardwired into our brains and can be difficult to shake. It's natural to be scared of death. It's why the Grim Reaper is such a popular figure in mythology and culture. Death is the end of everything and has the power to end our own lives. But at the same time, it's also a gateway to another realm where we may find peace and happiness. Death can be a positive force in our lives if we approach it with mindfulness and caution.
