If death is feared, that implies death is bad.Why is it bad? What reason is it bad? We fear the unknown. Socrates said there is good hope death is a blessing. If death brings no perception, then you are sound asleep, which is good. Death cannot be feared because by the time you meet death, you will already be gone. At death nothing bad can happen because we are not there. Therefore, bad is an irrational adjective for death.
