Unfortunately, most people never observe the natural cycle of birth and death. They do not realize that for one living thing to survive, another living thing must die.

About This Quote

This is an example of the cycle of life. It is the idea that the world will keep turning whether we realize it or not. The Earth never stops spinning and events never stop happening. If you’re not aware of the cycle of life, you don’t see death coming.

It can sneak up on you unexpectedly and remove someone from your life. You may not be able to understand why someone has passed away, but you must still accept that it happened for a reason.
