Do you think I care if Aslan dooms me to death?” said the King. “That would be nothing, nothing at all. Would it not be better to be dead than to have this horrible fear that Aslan has come and is not like the Aslan we have believed in and longed for? It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun.C.s. Lewis
About This Quote
A common argument that people use to prove that they are afraid of death, is that if they are really afraid, then they would be relieved when they die. In other words, they would be willing to die rather than face their fear. However, the reason people say this is because it is easier to believe that death is a better alternative than to actually confront the fear.
