Depending when it is I suppose. If it was to happen right now I would be really depressed, but my brain seems to think that I'll die when I have achieved stuff with my life. I sincerely hope it's right...
Are you sad that you're going to eventually die?

Thinking about Death scares the hell out of me. I can't bear the thought of not existing or being a conscious entity. To be nothing is terrifying.
WE ARE SEX-BOB-OMB AND WE ARE HERE TO MAKE YOU SAD AND THINK ABOUT DEATH AND STUFF!
But really, I'll jump off that bridge when I get to it.

Not at all. I am even looking a little bit forward to it. Just to see what happens. Not in a weird want to die sort of way, but Im sure as hell not gonna disgrace myself when the actual moment arrives.
Death bothers me. Its the cause of so many problems in the world, and the fear of it has driven... a few people insane.
I liked the line from The Great Gig in the Sky off Dark Side, "And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime." And I like to think that death makes us all even in the end, to quote Death from B&TBJ "You might be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper."
I'm not actively hoping to die but I have made peace with the inevitability of it. If it came down to burning to death in the towers or a quick death via pavement I know what I'd choose, that's for damn sure.
Still, what a horrible decision to have to make...

Will my being sad about it change the situation?
Then what's the point.
I used to panic all the time, actually. I have a panic disorder (now controlled through medication), and sometimes I would get so terrified I honestly I believed I was about to die at any second. The only way to genuinely control that feeling is to accept the inevitability, not in a morbid sense of constantly thinking about it, but just through the recognition that you have no control over it and it isn't worth you thinking about too much.
If this tiny flicker of life is all we have, then so be it. We won't change that by running around screaming in horror at every second which passes. A friend of mine once said 'life is just about passing time', when you look at it like that all you need to do to be happy is to become so immersed you forget to check the clock.

No, I don't want to die. I enjoy living. But dieing is part of life.
Anyone read Mogworld? Jim comes back to life, but he doesn't want to be alive.
Or Martian Chronicles, where a traitorous astronaut learns the religion of the Martians. They decided to stop worrying, and realized life was it's own answer.
Don't concentrate on dieing, focus on living.
