We the living are to blame for the painfulness of being dead.

Death would be an extremely bad thing like most of us paint it, if being dead were painful.

Even those who want to go to heaven would rather kill than be killed.

You need to be greedy or ignorant to truly want to live forever.

The fact that you have just buried your parent or parents and/or sibling or siblings does not make you less likely to die today.

Death would not surprise us as often as it does, if we let go of the misbelief that newborns are less mortal than the elderly.
