Time for a post!
Hippocrates cured many illnesses - and then fell ill himself and died.
The Chaldeans predicted the deaths of many others - in due course their own hour arrived.
Alexander the great, Pompeii, Ceasar - who utterly destroyed so many cities, cut down so many thousand men and horse in battle - they too departed this life.
Heraclitus often told us the world would end in fire, but it was moisture that carried him off; he died smeared with cow shit.
Democritus was killed by ordinary vermin, while Socrates was killed by the human kind.
And you? You boarded, set sail, you've made your passage. Time to disembark.
If it's for another life, well, there's nowhere without gods on that side either.
If to nothingness, then you no longer have to put up with pain and pleasure, or go on dancing attendance on this battered crate, your body - so inferior to that which serves it.
One is mind and spirit, the other earth and garbage. - Marcus Aurelius.
