The fact that you've obviously lived long enough to learn how to read
and write is proof positive that you too have a healthy fear of death.
An instinct for self-preservation is unrelated to whether or not you
have a fear of death, or of oblivion. I think Mark Twain got it about
right in the quote Brent gave:
"I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for
billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered
the slightest inconvenience from it."'
