I don't worry about dying. I've always known I wouldn't live forever. But, so far so good.

I've always lived my life knowing that it was a time-limited thing. So, I've acted on that basis.

No pie in the sky when you die in my reckoning. Live now. You're alive. You know you're alive. When you're not, you won't exist, so why worry about that.
