You will die. No getting around it. No one else escapes, either. At least you have lots of company in this. The entire animal kingdom. Even the vegetables.

It is not happening now. Plenty of time for that, when the time comes. It seems to me that death is not desirable but being mindful of it, seeing it clearly, and trying not to deny it, lets me think about it with a bit more equanimity.
