There's an asteroid that's going to fly past the earth closer than most of our communication satelites in a couple years (We'll be able to see it with our naked eye). If it's trajectory happens to be JUST RIGHT, Earth's gravity will alter it's course and make it come back and hit us seven years later. This is the same asteroid that freaked astronomers out several years back when they discovered it traveling between the Earth and the Moon.. a VERY near miss.
Yellowstone National Park is going to erupt someday destroying human civilisation in the process.
If a red giant star goes supernova even within 1000 light years from us, if the gamma ray burst from the collapse of the star hits us, it will fry half the planet and then plunge the other half of the planet into a nuclear winter.

Well, tell the end to feck off. I plan on living twenty or thirty more years before dying, and that goes for the rest of you. Stick around for the end of the show, lol.
The fact is, and I've said this many times before, we ARE going to die eventually. The human race, and all other races in the universe, are destined to endure this fate. Everything dies, but death is a natural part of life. It's what makes the world go round. Without death, the universe would be a horrible place (let alone Earth). Humans would exhaust all their resources, we'd run out of places to live, and imagine if infamous people such as Stalin had lived?
You can't go on worrying about it everyday. If you did, you'd never be able to move or continue with normal life. When you come close to death, you'll probably understand this fact and how precious life is.
