"The fact that we've got this deep-seated asymmetrical attitude doesn't necessarily mean it's rational."

Is Death Bad for You?



"We all believe that death is bad. But why is death bad?
In thinking about this question, I am simply going to assume that the death of my body is the end of my existence as a person. (If you don't believe me, read the first nine chapters of my book.) But if death is my end, how can it be bad for me to die? After all, once I'm dead, I don't exist. If I don't exist, how can being dead be bad for me?"
