You should become a politician, your dodging my question:
First you should define who you are, what makes you the "individual" that you think you are? What makes you different from everyone else?
And second whats your definition of life?
A lot could be said. However, if you stick a pin in me, I feel the pinprick, and no one else. This is as good locator of the "individual".

Isn't not caring about your actual death a very self-abasing point of view?

So, why not just say "everything"?
The reason, presumably, is that there is supposed to be some sort of subtle but marvellous relation between the real self (i.e., everything) and the phenomenal self. What is it? Could you clarify it, and relieve us of the obscurity?
When I stick a pin you, you squeal and not be; and when I stick a pin in me, I squeal and not you? One self feels the pain that the other doesn't. So, does the real self feel both pains or neither? In either case, how is this possible, if only one of the phenomenal selves feels the pain and the other one doesn't?
