When we ponder the vastness of the universe and eternity, we are closer to understanding the role of death in the mysterious life we are all experiencing. Through these realizations, greater acceptance of the inevitability of death positions us to be happier in our lives. After my journey through these ideas I feel strongly that happiness and a deeper understanding of death are linked phenomena that offer a fuller existence. Loren Mayshark
About This Quote

It is said that "the greater the gift, the greater the fear" meaning that fear is a gift to us because it helps us realize what we have not yet acquired or what we have lost. It allows us to grow and to become better people. The fear of losing the gift of life is not only greater than the fear of death but also greater than that of having no gift at all. Only when death comes do we realize how much we need life and how precious life is.
