Looking at circumstances of life, pleasant and adverse, and looking at people, agreeable and strange, I ask, 'Given all this, what can one do to be happy?' I observe, we don't have to spend all our lives tussling with problems, if we can elevate ourselves to a plane of thought, where these problems don't apply. The posts here are an attempt to help transcend ourselves to that plane.

In what way is it better?
At least there will be no more fear!
If there's no fear, there might be hatred. Is that fine? Terrors have no fear.
At least fear harms only oneself. Hatred can harm the whole world.
Everything is ok within limits. A little fear is fine but if one is always gripped by fear life becomes miserable for him.
How is it BETTER for a person who's dead? IT no longer exists in the body. It cannot experience fear any more or for that matter, any other emotion.
I would rephrase your quote as "Fear of death is best conquered by embracing it."
