Lucretius insists that we don’t have to fear death. We’ll see if his reasoning is at all helpful.

Discussion Prompts
  1. If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
  2. Love: Good or bad? Why?
  3. Does the belief that there is no afterlife increase or decrease happiness? Why?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
