Either "something" does or it does not. And if it don't there is
nothing to be concerned about, unless the loss of the self in
existential annihilation is either sad or scary to an individual.

As an inevitability it no longer scares me and as far as regret or loss,
there is a certain comfort in the idea of avoiding any sort of
phenomenology of the other side, whatever it may be.
