It was from an old friend who thought he was dying. Anyway, he said, 'Life and death issues don't come along that often, thank God, so don't treat everything like it's life or death. Go easier.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People always say things like, Oh, well, he was suffering so much that he was better off dying. But that's not true. You're always better off living.
Death's an old joke, but each individual encounters it anew.
I wanted to acknowledge that life goes on but that death goes on, too. A person who is dead is a long, long story.
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
Life is about surviving loss.
He that fears death loses the joys of life.
Mortality means you don't have forever to work things out. You can live your life unexamined but then on the last day you're going to think: 'I've left things a little late.'
Part of the bargain of being alive is that one takes a chance at dying a premature or painful death, be it from violence, accident, or disease.
Dealing with death is there forever, really, you know, because we all have to face it.
All I can say is, death is a part of life.
