As a materialist, one has no guaranty that there is anything beyond a "resolution". The end is the end. It's like not minding a movie being over. Toward the end of the movie, you know the end is coming, but it is nothing to dwell upon other than curiously... I'm not much to dwell on it, but neither am I fatalistic. I think quality of life is more important than quantity. 80 years in misery is worse than 40 years living well. I'm not sure how people get into the mode where giving one's life to make a point is justifiable. Perhaps to save one's children, but that is about it for me. Not many people have made as much of their death as their life. Sometimes their death punctuates their life accomplishments. But I don't see many people (other than Klingons in Star Trek) saying "die well". "Live well" is common and is good advice. Living well is the best revenge... dying well is, at most, a relief.
