About This Quote

We all want to die. Some of us are fortunate enough to die in our sleep peacefully in our own beds; others are not so lucky. Many people spend a great deal of time and energy trying to avoid death, but this is a futile effort that can only end in disappointment. Death is a concept that has no meaning.

When we think of death, what do we think about? Do we think about a person who is still living? No, because we know that they are no more. We think about the concept of death, not the person who is no more. We think about the idea of someone passing on from this world and never returning to it again.

In the same way, we will always try to avoid death by taking actions that keep us from dying. But these actions can only lead to disappointment because death is an inevitable fact of life that we must all eventually face.
