About This Quote

Death is not something to be feared like it is for children. To them, death is just something that happens to other people, but it does not affect them. When they are teenagers, they are not afraid of it because they have not yet experienced much in life. Consequently, when they are older and have had more time to explore the world, when they must face it all over again, they will have far more imagination in their hearts to face it with bravery and determination.
