Random quote of the day:

“Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not.”

—Epicurus, letter to Menoeceus, tr. Robert Drew Hicks

today it sounds to me somehow like sophisme and anyway I find it a poor consolation.. although I've read that letter for better understanding.

No, I'm not much of an epicurean myself. Poor consolation, as you say.

I dreamt about these three deaths last night. The painting must have made an impression on my subconscious.
