The Fear of Death (Part One)
A soldier who doesn’t fear death is an idiot according to a famous general.

Death is not a popular subject of discussion. The young live as if death did not exist and that is the way it must be. Senior citizens are acutely aware of their short lifespans.

A friend of mine who just turned 80 was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer; it is inoperable and usually kills the patient in less than a year. Did he give up? No, he bravely faced chemo and painful tests.
