In the words of one of the greats:
"I am not frightened of dying / Any time will do, I don't mind / Why should I be frightened of dying? / There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.."
- Gerry O'Driscoll, The Great Gig in the Sky, song by Pink Floyd
An interesting read on this quote, from Wiki, I was trying to dig up where the quote came from:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gig_in_the_Sky)
On Classic Albums: Pink Floyd – The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon, it is pointed out that during the recording of the album, in which death and life had been a consistent theme, the members of the band went around asking questions and recording responses from people working inside Abbey Road at the time. Among the questions, they were asked "Are you afraid of dying?" The responses of doorman Gerry O'Driscoll and the wife of their road manager Peter Watts were used, as well as other spoken parts throughout the album.
To fear death is pointless. It is unavoidable. Don't fear it, and instead, embrace life while it is here. You will find out what happens next when the time comes. There is no use worrying about what happens next, for next surely doesn't worry about now.
