A better description of what death would be like is ask yourself what it was like before you were born.

This is why im not afraid of death.
Also, it is why I dont look down on people who commit suicide. If life sucks to that extent, why continue? The only thing I dont understand about suicide though, would be that if your life sucks so bad, why not just leave your shitty situation behind and head on down to South America or somewhere like that, and start over with a new life. Its the perfect excuse. If that fails, sure, end it.
Having said that, I'd much rather be around to have fun and experience things, given the choice. Once death comes though, that choice wont matter much to you. It only matters now.
