9304	Death appears to be more frightening the less one has lived [Svendsen]
	Full Idea: Death appears to be more frightening the less one has lived.
	From: Lars Svendsen (A Philosophy of Boredom [2005], Ch.2)
	A reaction: [He credits Adorno with this] A good thought, which should be immediately emailed to Epicurus for comment. Which is worse - to die when you have barely started your great work (Ramsey), or dying in full flow (Schubert)?
