Lucretious is not a cold hearted philosopher; he simply thinks in the reasonable way of feelings. The views of not over reacting to your feeling to the maximum. Just like the example of a family member dying, and Lucretious reacting as if his vase broke. He was not over reacting or under reacting. He was simply feeling with logic, and what I mean is that his reaction was a civilized form of dread. He simply saw no point of over reacting or being in a depressed state of mind and body because ultimately it wouldn't help the situation in any way or form. He would have lost energy being sad about something he could not change by being say. Ultimately his philosophy is that death is the end of both pain, fear, and even happiness.The soul and the body no longer have anything to do with life. It can not feel or react after death. He believes the death is neutral and that you can no longer feel any form of emotion. The point of life before death is that you find only happiness and should not have anything to fear. Without fear we will have a regular tranquil life without having  any conflict or bad feelings. The rewards and good things come to you when you make it be good. The gods have nothing to do with the good or bad things that happen to you. They are not in charge of punishing you or rewarding you. The pleasure and pain in the world was measured good and evil. All pain is evil; big or small. He also viewed all events as the motion of atoms. The atoms around the air cause the events to happen in your life. Life is not planned but things happen if atom's actions lead up to it.There is a randomness in the world that can happen at any time. The way to live life is to understnad how things are and how they work. That the Gods have no say in your life or consequences.Humans train yourselves to not want more than what you need to survive, so the necessities will be meet and not overlooked.To avoid pain and evil and have no pain and good we should be in tune with nature.
