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.
