If you add the shadow of death to a moment of passion you are in that instant free of all normal ties, your mind grows still and your body enters a state of non-being.

About This Quote

The shadow of death is the fear that our lives will end, and the moment of passion is an example of two people in love. When you look at them during this moment of ecstasy, you know they are in love. However, this type of passion does not last forever. As it becomes reality, so does the fear of death.

This is what makes life so terrifying at times. The idea that we are only here for a short time and that we will soon fade away has always been a part of our lives. It's one thing to live the typical American dream where you get up, go to work, come home, take care of your family and then retire to spend your days on the beach.

It's another thing when you consider that this life might be all there is.
