Death is nothing to us. When we exist, death is not; and when death exists, we are not. All sensation and consciousness ends with death and therefore in death there is neither pleasure nor pain. The fear of death arises from the belief that in death, there is awareness.
EPICURUSDeath does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
