Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when you were not: that gives us no concern. Why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be? To die is only to be as we were before we were born. -William Hazlitt, essayist (1778-1830)
Nice try, Bill, but it won't do. The fact of death will ever cause us anxiety because somehow we know that it isn't the end, but we don't know, of our reason, what follows. Faith is what we need.
