About This Quote
We are all resigned to death: it’s life we aren’t resigned to. When I hear this quote I think of the pain that is in my heart, the sadness that is in my soul, and the emptiness that is in my existence. We are all too used to having things go wrong for us. We are used to the fact that we will lose our security, our money, our jobs, and even our loved ones.
This quote makes me realize that it is the other way around. The thing that should be sad or painful for us is not death but life. The thing that should be sad or painful for us is not death but living a life that we don’t want to live.
We have been all too used to our lives going one way. It’s time for us to make a change and make a life we can be proud of.
