Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.

Death

It seemed more strange than ever that death should cause fear when one is endowed with the power mentally to survey such a supremely magnificent universe evolving out of chaos! Since each galaxy discovered is another proof of change, why cannot death be life in another form?

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Death
|
Now, the prospect of death overshadows all others for me. I am like a man on a sea voyage nearing his destination. When I embarked, I worried about having a cabin with a porthole, whether I should be asked to sit at the captain's table, who were the more attractive and important passengers. All such considerations become pointless, however, when I shall soon be disembarking.

Death
|
Now you may ask why make a metaphysical catastrophe out of the fact that we are going to die one day?...If you know Epicurus from the ancient world he took care of this whole problem of death very well with the following argument. He said Death should be nobody’s concern at all because no one will ever encounter it. Death is not a problem of the living because they are alive, and it is not a problem of the dead because they are not. Consequently no one will ever know any state other than life and there’s no point groveling before the fact of death.
