Mr. Nobody's post of THE TEACHING OF TECUMSEH, reminded me of this quote, ...

to fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know.

for anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they know quite well that it was the greatest of evils.

and what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?

-- Socrates - Quoted in Plato's Apology
