    No, He it's definitely right we are not suffering when we are dead. PERIOD POINT BLANK. I hope not a single soul that has accepted death comes across this video and has their peace of mind disturbed. Please reconsider your conclusion.

    Death is the best thing that can happen to any one. No more needs, such as food, shelter, transportation ,pain, religion, or beliefs. As wheel as stops, being looked as, a pain on the S. And pettiness to the ones that surround you as being old.

      No more pleasures such as food, the company of friends and family, being competent in one's acting and intellectual accomplishments and being intimate with one's loved one. Death is only the best thing that can happen if you truely can't gain anything out of life.

    How does epicurus rationalize the wrongness of murder?

    • @TrainOfThoughts

      That's a fantastic question to ask! As I searched It seems that there is no clear argument from Epicurus himself about the wrongness of murder
      Some philosophers argue that the Epicurean argument for death's being “nothing to us” must be fallacious since its acceptance would undermine the principle that killing is (in general) wrong. A possible strategy is considered, which the Epicurean-sympathizer might deploy in order to show that the non-badness of death (for the person who dies) is compatible with killing's being wrong ... It involves arguing that the wrongness of killing is a “basic moral certainty” and hence requires no underpinning by the judgment that death is bad. Though the strategy is not decisive, it is deemed to be one that the Epicureans could plausibly adopt..
