The Epicureans would put this on their tombstone: I was not. I was. I am not. I do not care.
You will die and you won't care. Why worry about that fact now and ruin your life?
Socrates made another point: do you mind going to sleep at night? What is sleep but the suspension of consciousness? Death is the same. Or there is an afterlife and then you don't need to worry about it.
