Do you fear Death? [View all]

Death is a part of human life. It is an ending and a beginning of chapter varying by personal beliefs.

Do you fear Death?

I do not. I tend to agree with this very short but well said satetment :
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” - Mark Twain
