Rehearse this thought every day, that you may be able to depart from life contentedly; for many men clutch and cling to life, even as those who are carried down a rushing stream clutch and cling to briars and sharp rocks. Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardships of life; they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die. Seneca, Moral Letters to Lucilius 4.5

you're always right, seneca
it doesn't do much to ease my angst on this particular issue, though
but I guess the fact that you're teaching me thousands of years after your death helps a bit
