is that a quote? i'm sure i've heard that somewhere!

I have heard it recently quoted by Terry Pratchett....don't know if it is one of his original ones though.

I understand it to mean that Death itself is not to be feared ....it's "getting there" that is the problem. Even the 'Few monments / nanoseconds of before death' are full of the 'fear of pain' and THAT is what most people are afraid of. Thinking
