About This Quote

The world we live in is a tough one to manage and there are no easy solutions for the problems we face. The fact that we spend so much time thinking about our next life (and worrying about what happens when we die) shows how far we’ve come from the way we used to think about death. Things that used to be shocking or scary when we were children aren’t anymore because the biggest danger in this world is to not face up to it and try and change it.
