You're referring to the inevitability of the thing. [Someday Methos might die, but he'd made a pretty good run of it thus far.] It will happen for everyone. Eventually. I'm not pretending that's not the case.

Death is private-- or... the ideas one holds. They tend to be. It's something that is hard to talk about honestly. It makes sense. You're broaching the topic for a reason, though.
{Methos was eyeing him, curious. Was he seeing things, or was the man brighter than before?] 'The ideas one hold.' Are you talking about what comes after death? The ideas people have on that...?
I've never been all that convinced there is anything beyond it. Which is why I try to avoid it at all costs. [Perhaps he knew differently?]

If you can. It makes sense -- to avoid the beyond. It's not a choice, often enough.
