About This Quote

This quote is really deep. It goes with the idea that you can never win, even though you are struggling you are still in the game. The mind is a very powerful tool. It can make us believe anything.

If you are not fully in control of your mind, then the mind will make you believe that you are in control. That is why this quote says, "I think one who thrives on death may be defeated by life." I think this is true because when people think about death they tend to think about being able to have the best things in life that they could have in life. They want to have all the money in the world and have all the fame in the world so they think about death so they can be famous when they are dead because they can’t be famous when they are alive.
