Human attitudes to death have been rather diverse. It’s a journey to a better world, it’s a journey into the unknown, it’s a journey to the place where you will be judged for how you lived your life, it’s the end of an illusion; it’s the final mercy and release from pain, it’s just another absurdity after a life of absurdities, it’s the blight that taints everything. The inevitability of death will make one person relax because everything is pointless, and another agitated because they are running out of time. There is no one orthodox position on death.

In another (non-conventional) view, death is the ultimate good, because it is the only thing you will definitely never regret.
