Whether people be of high or low birth, rich or poor, old or young, enlightened or confused, they are all alike in that they will one day die.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We all have two things in common, no matter who we are: We were born and we are going to die.
We think birth is a miracle and death is a tragedy, but really they're flip sides of the same coin - anything born is gonna die.
Among all the vicissitudes of life, which vary in each individual's experience, there is one event which sooner or later comes to everyone - Death!
Everything born has to die, in order to make room for the future.
People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.
We are all born and someday we'll all die. Most likely to some degree alone. Our aloneness in this world is, maybe not anymore, a thing to mourn.
When rich people fight wars with one another, poor people are the ones to die.
People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness.
Who lives long and who dies prematurely, is the defining issue of our time. And I submit to you, there's a significant race dimension, it is basically class-driven.
It's not lost on me that everyone dies, but some people have a kind of immortality about them, and you can't imagine that they will ever be gone.
