About This Quote

The first time I tasted death was when my mother died. This was so unexpected that I didn’t really know what to do with myself. Death is a very common thing for people to fear, but the fear of death doesn’t really prevent it from happening. In fact, people who are afraid of death tend to die sooner.

It was the first time I felt the fear of death and it was a very unpleasant experience. But, even if you know the feeling of death before it happens, you shouldn’t let it stop you from living your life. You should still go on and enjoy life as much as possible because one day you won’t be able to experience life as much as you would like to.
