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.

We'll all die. For soldiers, first responders and old people it's proximity is a daily reality and companion. 'Philosophers' think on such things according to their want; most others don't.

Death is close to all of us. And most think on it regularly.

Death
To die:—to sleep:
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished.

Hamlet
One the most profound Hamlet lines.
Kenneth Branagh does this soliloquy watching
himself on the mirror.
He did a great Hamlet !

Einstein said
"Strange is our situation here on earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose."

Well said .
Einstein said it as a mystery of our unknown
purpose and the unknown destiny ahead of us.

"The ripples that we cause
Aren't influenced by cash;
It's art, music, and wars
That make a bigger splash!"

The love that we make
The cookies that we bake
The lives that we touch
The things that we teach
Is the world we create

Death is only me being gone....the universe proceeds apace.... no biggie

We are born alone
We live alone
We die alone
