About This Quote

This quote is probably one of my favorite quotes ever. I honestly don't know who the author is but thank you for the amazing piece of wisdom. This quote is so true about why people are anxious, scared, and fearful. They are worried about what will happen in their life.

And yes, the world is going to end one day so why not take your anxiety there? Think of it as a free pass. People are scared because they don't know if they are going to die tomorrow or not. If you are worried about that then just kill yourself now because you have nothing to lose at that point.
