An interesting perspective on death

Epicurus (342-271 BC) had this to say:

"Get used to the idea that Death should not matter to us, for good and evil are on sensation. Death, however, is the cessation of all sensation. Hence, Death, obstensibly the most terrifying of all evils, has no meaning for us, for as long as we exist, Death will not be present. When Death comes, then we will no longer be in existence."
