The real danger in life is not death, but living an evil life.
To fear death is nothing other than to think oneself wise when one is not. For it is to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not even turn out to be the greatest blessings of human beings. And yet people fear it as if they knew for certain it is the greatest evil.
The wise man seeks death all his life, and for this reason death is not terrifying to him.
