A premature death does not only rob one of the countless instances where one would have experienced pleasure, it also saves one from the innumerable instances where one would have experienced pain.

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

An expensive coffin does not decrease the deceased’s chances of going to hell.

We lose a significant portion of our lives attending ceremonies for people who have lost theirs.

Most human beings would have never been pained by the death of a human being if they had never seen a human being or pretending to be pained by that.

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

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.

Most of us cling to life as if our existence were a result of our deed or choice.

Attending a funeral would leave the average person insane, if they truly believed that sooner or later they are also going to die.
