That wouldn't make any sense at all.
-
It makes sense to be filled with dread or foreboding or what have you only
-
if the thing you're looking forward to,
-
anticipating, is itself bad.
-
Maybe, for example,
-
it makes sense to dread going to the dentist,
-
if you believe that being at the dentist is a painful, unpleasant experience.
-
But if being at the dentist isn't itself unpleasant,
-
it doesn't make sense to dread it in anticipation.
-
So again, if we're thinking about the central badness of death,
-
it seems to me that we've got to focus on my being dead.
-
What is it about my being dead that's bad for me?
