You will experience the annihilation of your self while you're fully conscious, and although this death is actually transformation it is terrifying when you're on the brink. There's a reason most will stay asleep.
It may also be due to not fully understanding either path? Words can be inadequate sometimes to describe something, and if a person doesn't 'get it' then it's easier to just write it off. I was the same with football...I find it boring, I don't understand it, it's just silly to me that grown men would run around kicking a ball and yet it is given so much importance in Australian culture (and American for that matter)...just as an analogy.
