We are not going to leave this place alive!

Yes, believe it or not, we are all going to die!

Epicurus told us not to fear death. Life is feeling or sensation; when life ends, there is no feeling. Death itself does not hurt, even if the process can. The important thing is to have a “good” death, that is, die close to those you love and love you; be reconciled to those things you regret and the mistakes you may have made. Leave this world a better place. Be remembered as kind, considerate, fair and generous. Die feeling you have lived to the full, have enjoyed it and have no regrets.

Epicurus believed that man is a bundle of atoms. You have eternal life only in so far as your atoms are recycled forever in a myriad of forms. Your bosons electrons, quarks, your particles and anti-particles on will live on – don’t worry!

  1. Still, one has to admit that the whole shebang is very mysterious. All this trouble and all this evolution — in order to recycle our bosons, electrons, quarks and such? I have to think that Epicurus himself wondered why, don’t you?
