None of which is to imply that I intend to die soon. I certainly don't.

Certainly, I am afraid of dying right now; certainly it would be all too soon to die.

I take special care not to endanger my life—not to be hit by cars, for example. Even I worry about airplanes that come too close.

I am just getting ready to live.

But just as it is necessary to fight for the rights of life, so it is necessary as well to fight for the rights of death.

The two are somehow connected.
