People assume that somehow fame and wealth will keep mortality at bay.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's probably healthier to find fame later in life.
Rich people are afraid to die.
If all human lives depended upon their usefulness - as might be judged by certain standards - there would be a sudden and terrific mortality in the world.
I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.
I was fascinated by mortality. Most people are, even if they don't admit it.
When we die our money, fame, and honors will be meaningless. We own nothing in this world. Everything we think we own is in reality only being loaned to us until we die. And on our deathbed at the moment of death, no one but God can save our souls.
Mortality is very brief but immeasurably important.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.
Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion.
