I have some kind of deep arrogance in me, I can barely sense it. I'm not an arrogant person, or at least that's my view of it, but it almost insults my subconscious or something to know that I'll die some day.
I think this is the attitude that comes closest to my own; at some level I am affronted by the idea of no longer existing, so I prefer to turn my thoughts away from the prospect and pretend I`ll live forever ...

On the other hand, death is often accompanied by physical pain, loss of ability and loss of dignity, so I sometimes worry about the way I will exit this world. I wonder about which is worse; a long, slow decline or over-before-you-know-it. What would you all prefer ?
