To die is one thing. How much worse to know that all the life that ever existed on this planet, and all it ever achieved, was to be obliterated?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't know what more to say. I mean, we're all going to die in a world that is worse than when we entered it.
All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.
The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on Earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing, in comparison with eternity, for reaping.
Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.
We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.
People who think dying is the worst thing don't know a thing about life.
Of our relation to all creation we can never know anything whatsoever. All is immensity and chaos. But, since all this knowledge of our limitations cannot possibly be of any value to us, it is better to ignore it in our daily conduct of life.
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
Death can't be considered because, if you're afraid to die, there's no room in your life to make discoveries.
The worse thing in the world is for an individual to live, breath and exist and leave this earth, die, and not make impact.
