Isaac Asimov tells the story of a rough ocean crossing during which a Mr. Jones became terribly seasick. At an especially rough time, a kindly steward patted Jones on the shoulder and said, "I know, sir, that it seems awful. But remember, no man ever died of sea-sickness." Mr. Jones lifted his green countenance to the steward’s concerned face and replied, "Man, don’t say that! It’s only the wonderful hope of dying that keeps me alive."

[Summary] => It was tough to get people to answer today’s question. It seems that when the topic is death, they would rather not think about it – much less talk about it. Of course, no matter what we do, we can never escape the reality of death – we will join our creator up there if we were good down here (if we were bad, well, that’s another interesting story).
