it's not dying that you need to be afraid of; it's never having lived in the first place.
Alice in Wonderland:
Alice: this is impossible! (when she saw the monster "Jabberwocky" that she has to defeat)
Mad hatter: only if you believe it
Alice: sometimes i believe as many as 6 impossible things before breakfast.
Mad Hatter: that's an excellent practice.
Alice (as she fights the Jabberwocky): 6 impossible things: number 1: there's a potion that can make you shrink. Number 2: a cake that can make you grow, no.3: animals can talk. No.4: cats can disappear. No.5: there's a place called wonderland. No.6: i can slay the Jabberwocky.
and she did!
-- it is indeed good practice to declare the impossible things and see that they are "possible"!
