Notes About The Poem

" SETTING SUN " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of body of water, nature, sky and twilight

Fearing Death

To fear death is rather a sign of ignorance 

For 

At the moment we do not know what death is 

How can we declare that it is an evil which 

Must be feared?

Why would we fear death when it is the start of eternal life? The fear of pain and suffering I can understand but not death itself. A verse to think about, Demetrios. Thank you. Take care, Shirley
