Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.Anonymous
About This Quote
Death is the only wise advisor that we have. If you are having a hard time facing your problems, instead of trying to force them away, try to reflect on the fact that death is the only wise advisor we have. People who try to protect themselves from death by avoiding hard facts about life are foolish. It is true that death is the only wise advisor, but so are our friends and family, they will tell us that there is still room for happiness if we let them.
We can never completely escape our problems because they are part of us. If we try to avoid our problems by pretending that they don't exist, then we are not living fully. We are at best wasting our lives, at worst committing suicide.
