-
And I've argued,
-
as I just reminded us,
-
that although perhaps the most common reaction is
-
one of fear or terror at death,
-
it may in fact be that we should be grateful
-
and consider ourselves lucky that
-
we were able to have had life as well--life at all.
-
But how, then, should we live
-
in light of the fact that we're going to die?
-
And the immediate answer that comes to mind
-
seems almost like a joke.
