Fearing death is utterly irrational.<p>One simply transitions from being to non-being. In a state of non-being one cannot worry, influence, toil, think, experience, or suffer.<p>I look at death very straightforwardly: it is irrelevant to me. I will never experience death. I will therefore, from my perspective, never die. My experiences are bounded by my being and non-being, and self-referentially we are each immortal within the bounds of our own experience.<p>I may one day experience the act of dying, but one does not know one is dying unless one is terminally ill. More often than not one simply either goes to sleep and does not wake, or one goes "gosh, what's that thing that's about to hit my head?".<p>Of course one might worry for those one leaves behind - but in most cases, this does the living a disservice, as to think one essential in the life of another is egoistic at best, and controlling and damaging at worst.<p>Hare today, goon tomorrow, and the world will keep turning.
