Paulo CoelhoThey say that in the second before our death, each of us understands the real reason for our existence, and out of that moment, heaven or hell is born.
About This Quote
We are all born with a desire to make something of our lives. We are born with the knowledge that if we are not happy, nothing else can make us happy. This is what makes us human. However, most of the time, we don’t feel like giving up.
We tell ourselves that there must be more to life than this, but somehow we don’t think it through. If we do not understand why we are here then how can we possibly find our way to heaven or hell? Even if we do find our way, will it really matter?
