No sense, therefore, remains in the soul; for the soul is nowhere.

Where, then, is the evil?
for there is nothing but these two things.

Is it because the mere separation of the soul and body cannot be effected without pain?
But even should that be granted, how small a pain must that be! Yet I think that it is false, and that it is very often unaccompanied by any sensation at all, and sometimes even attended with pleasure; but certainly the whole must be very trifling, whatever it is, for it is instantaneous.

What makes us uneasy, or rather gives us pain, is the leaving all the good things of life.

But just consider if I might not more properly say, leaving the evils of life; only there is no reason for my now occupying myself in bewailing the life of man, and yet I might, with very good reason.
