Seeing death as a problem, and possessing a discomfort or fear of all the suffering death causes is often dispelled by gaining a fuller perspective over time.

Not many years ago, when I was that age, death and human suffering seemed to be the most fundamental problem to apply myself to solve. In fact, I was obsessed with biotechnology for very much the same reason.

Now, I think death the least of my concerns, for the most important and exhilarating parts of life come independently of the time spent here. For those things, like life, are fleeting, and lingering for an eternity would not bring them back.
