After 2000 and more years, I still don't understand what Epicurus wanted from Meneceo. Already here I am (s)confused.

*Death, in fact, when it is present, will not cause us pain, and it is therefore foolish to let death bring us pain while we await it. Thus, the most dreadful of evils, death, is nothing to us, because when we are here, there is no death; when death is here, we are no longer here.*
