About This Quote

Death, as it is constituted in society, is a great fear. The abyss from where no traveler is permitted to return. We as human beings believe there is an afterlife, and it is this belief that keeps us from looking death in the eyes. We believe we will be with those we love again. Many people think that an afterlife can be a reward for a life well lived and that if they die and don't reach the afterlife they will feel incomplete and disappointed.
