Death is a fact of the body. Whatever took birth, will die. Whatever is yours, will die. There is no need to entertain the notion that even after death, some part of oneself will remain or that one will take birth again. Go to graveyards, watch dead bodies. See a body burning and you will lose all seriousness that you have about your own body. Those who are afraid of dying, they will never be able to live. So, die fully and die completely, so that you may live. Order a pizza. Go and dance, have fun.
