It's not the dying that matters. It's the opportunity to live in the forest that I would like. Life and death are part of existence and we should not try and escape that. It is only the pathological dream of modern technologists to escape death, which creates a rather abysmal life.

Distress over the inevitability of death is not a modern phenomenon, but we have succeeded in extending our lives further than any previous generation.
