To Epicurus, "death should mean nothing to us" since it is a nonexistent entity in that, with cessation of life, our atoms disintegrate into nothing. As Epicurus more succinctly states (p.53: 1-5; 2): "Death means nothing to us because that which has been broken down into atoms has no sensation and that which has no sensation is no concern of ours." We become non-existent, our mortality subsides. Death, in its essence, is the opposite of life. There is no living, there is no fear, and there is no sensation. Since the essence of death is, therefore, a nothingness, we are rid of fear and all sensation and become a ‘nothingness' too. And, consequently, argues Epicurean, we have nothing to fear since we will be reduced to‘nothingness'. Epicurus, therefore, urges us to live the ‘good life' up to the very end and not to heed the advice of others who counsel the ‘good life' for youth whilst urging elderly people to end their life in ‘good style.'

The study exemplified here by the Stanford University academics aims to propose a theory concerning cognitive dissonance. The study thus questions previous experiments, and aims to see whether a person can be induced to say something contrary to his or her private opinion, as well as what kind of pressure can be utilized in order to elicit some type of behavior that a subject would not necessarily elicit himself or herself at will. The subsequent experiment subjected individuals to boring experimental conditions and paid them to tell others that the experience had been enjoyable. It was found that although many students would go ahead and comply with these requests, the amount of money they received for the ‘job', which increased from $1 to $20, and more specifically the increase, made no difference in how persuasive the individuals were in lauding the experiment.
