About This Quote
It is easy to face death when one has a religious belief and the confidence that death will not come for them. The idea of a religion of death is one of the most terrifying images in all of history. It is quite similar to the idea of witnessing a person die and then being told that they were waiting for you, just as if it had been an appointment with a doctor. Others may wonder why such a person would be afraid to die, but the truth is that such a person does not believe it is necessary to be alive in order for life to go on.
If one believes in death and it’s potential for taking them from this world, then their fear will be overwhelming. The best thing we can do for our own souls and our own minds and spirits is to believe that we will live forever and not fear death. When we do, we can live with the greatest joy and courage possible.
