Image
I might be deceiving myself but I do not think that I do have an inordinate fear of death.

Image
Watching a whole cluster of friends, and my own mother, die over quite a short space of time convinced me that purely materialist 'explanations' for our mysterious human existence simply won't do - on an intellectual level.
