Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life is not shrinking for me; it's morphing into a whole new world of possibilities.
Loss is part of life. If you don't have loss, you don't grow.
Loss is so paradoxical: It is at once enormous and tiny.
People lose people, we lose things in our life as we're constantly growing and changing. That's what life is is change, and a lot of that is loss. It's what you gain from that loss that makes life.
In life, loss is inevitable. Everyone knows this, yet in the core of most people it remains deeply denied - 'This should not happen to me.' It is for this reason that loss is the most difficult challenge one has to face as a human being.
Every moment of one's existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit.
Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
It's the decomposition that gets me. You spend your whole life looking after your body. And then you rot away.
I think loss can fuel how you lead your whole life.
Life is about surviving loss.
