Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes that’s overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. We’ve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect. Joss Whedon
About This Quote

The idea that we all reach the same conclusion in the end is a common trope among writers and poets. It is also a common concept in the world of philosophy. Philosophers such as Plato and Kant have written extensively on the idea that we each have to fight for our own existence. This is an important concept when considering the ramifications of life beyond death. We come to be through death and will eventually die after death, so it makes sense that we are all heading toward the same conclusion.
