Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Because our choices are largely based on survival. But if life is eternal, life is not a question.
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
It seems to me self-evident that if you have a life, things happen in it, and certain things do change; certain things end. People you know die.
Life is just a short period of time in which you are alive.
Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.
Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
If we don't know life, how can we know death?
The number of ways you can live in one lifetime is limitless. So why limit yourself? The sky is NOT the limit. Beyond the universe is.
We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived.
