"Are you afraid to die?" - wilde flower

Honestly, no. I “look forward to my release/execution”. But, that does not mean I look forward to or fear my “death”. I do not believe in death, I believe only in life. This is why I refer to my execution as my “release day”. I do not think I will continue to exist in some “better place” after that; at least not “me” as the limitted being I am today (or will be on my “release day”). Joseph E. Duncan III will “cease to exist” in time and space beyond that moment; but life itself will never cease to exist. And, I identify with “life” more than I do with “Joseph E. Duncan III”. “What” I am changes from one moment to the next. And, “what” I am has “died” (ceased to exist) an infinite number of times, and will continue --- does continue --- to do so infinitely. But, “who” I am is life itself. And who I am does not change, or ever “cease to exist”. I don't just “believe” this; it is a vital part of my everyday experience! Thus, I couldn't “fear death” if I tried.
