Agree. It is my conclusion after a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, that life continues on the so called other side. We mess with the entrance and exit of this world at our own peril. I have myself been very close to death. So I know what it feels like. Do not let the fear of pain choose your path - and even inflict death on yourself or others. As a stoic myself, I can only support listening to Seneca. Life is precious. But do not cling to it. Live life and have passions. But do not get caught up in them.
