I believe that evrey life has a destiny, by which I mean your task may be to go from London to Glasgow, with your choice of route, thus allowing for a limited amount of free will (you can't have too much, otherwise you could screw up a lot of other lives). I also believe that every life has five or six exit points that you can take if you so wish.
The upshot is that Death is not something I worry about too much. I would simply be annoyed that I hadn't finished all the books I want to write!
All the people close to me know my views and I know that they will not be grieving, as I will be waiting for them - one of my requirements at the funeral is a New Orleans jazz band.
