About This Quote
Death is inevitable and we all must go at some point in our lives. However, we can avoid the sadness or regret of death by doing things in life that we believe and know we would want to do in the next life. The best things in life are those things done in a way that makes the people around you better. For example, if you own a public library and you stop hiring staff when they get too old, when they lose their ability to work, when they become sick and need care, when they become unable to care for themselves, your library will fall apart.
The same goes for a business: If you stop hiring new staff when they get too old or when they lose their skills and abilities, your business will fall apart. Instead of avoiding death and its consequences (like sickness and old age) and focusing on what we want to do with our lives in the next life, we should focus on the things that make us better people in this life.
