Epicurus makes a very real point, I think it helps justify living. I'm exhausted from a long day so I can't comment too much insight, especially on death, but I remember reading that letter before and that it was a very big deal for philosophers when they found out about it.. Maybe I'll edit a link to an article relating to this if I find it.

    About the implication of death (leaving the mother with the little one), it's just really, really hard.
Yeah, that really got to me. I don't know what kind of pain that is, and I hope she finds peace.

I could add a transcript I guess, hopefully they won't all take this long as I become more clear in speaking so transcribing will be quicker.
