I was reading Marcus Aurelius's Meditations this afternoon and was struck by this passage, book 8:58

"He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if you shall have no sensation, neither will you feel any harm and if you shalt acquire another kind of sensation, you will be a different kind of living being and you will not cease to live."

Or not... (It makes no sense to fear death any more than to worry where one came from. The one worry is the pain of getting to death, and hopefully one gets drugs to take care of that).
