I don't think about death, hearing this word I don't start thinking about the inevitable.
I don't want to die, at least not now, but I do realise that no one can escape death. Death is a part of process. You are born, you live, breed and you die. We're no better here than animals. We are here to ensure the continuation of the species and to disappear to make place for new generations.
Being an atheist I do not perceive it as freedom or punishment. To me it is a natural result of being born.
When a person close to me dies, I am sad but it's for egoistic reasons. I know that I will miss this person and I will never see him/her again. I don't believe in afterlife or in an Upper Creature judging people by what they did on Earth. To me, death is the end. Your body turns off, consciousness fades away and you are no more.

I heard an interesting thing on the radio(MPR)yesterday. They were discussing aging and trying to define what age is old. One of the guests said that when you start going to one funeral a year for friends in your age group, you are entering old age.
