In episode 9 of Blacklist, Red tells us why he doesn't want to die.
Not a word about fear of death, nothingness, or Hell.
It's all about things he wants to do that, of course, he can't do if he's dead.
That he would not regret missing out on those things if he were dead, while true, is not a reason not to want those things, and wanting them remains reason to stay alive.
In case, having taken Camus too seriously, you were wondering.
Or in case, having read Schopenhauer, you were thinking people live out of fear of death, and find ways to keep busy so as not to be bored by the emptiness and fatuity of existence.
