死
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other.
In bad times, which are coming soon, it is better to die than to live.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
