Livre d'Or

My reaction to thoughts about my own death are mostly about whether it will hurt; but my thoughts about others' deaths are I'm afraid more along the lines of "I'll never enjoy their fine company and sparkling wit again", which I think is a very selfish thing of me to think so I probably shouldn't.

I don't think it's unfair that people die. It's just a fact of biology. I like it when people manage to fight back against death, with health care and so forth, but I don't expect we'll ever actually stop death altogether.
