=Joe Brainard: Some Thoughts on Death=

Death is a funny thing. Most people are afraid of it, and yet they don't even know what it is.

But suppose—just suppose—that we didn't have to die. That wouldn't be so great either. If a 90-year-old man can hardly stand up, can you imagine what it would be like to be 500 years old?

Another comforting thought about death is that 80 years or so after you die nobody who knew you will still be alive to miss you.

And after your dead, you won't even know it.

I think that the best way to try to understand death is to think about it a lot. Try to come to terms with it. Try to really understand it. Give it a chance!
