I don't THINK I'm afraid of death.  I don't see much difference
between the time before I was born and the time after I die.
I am, though, afraid of dying, in the same sense that I'm afraid
of being hit by a truck, or getting my hand mangled by a bear,
or any of the horribly painful, non-fatal things that can happen.
