For me, the ego sets up expectations that ultimately lead to disappointment or fear when goals are not accomplished or when routines change. My problems are accompanied by an inability to see things in perspective.
We grasp at material possessions to try and fill a hole that was never meant to be filled by 'stuff'. We don't bring anything into this world and we don't take anything out. When I think of civilizations and their lavish funerals (say for the Pharos) with tombs filled with material wealth I can't help but feel that these people were not enlightened.
I still fear the dying process, but I don't think I fear death. The destruction of the ego leads to an existence which is defined by the connection to ones surroundings, and not to the symbols and interpretations we have of them.
