About This Quote
This is a very philosophical statement. Life, in essence, is all about the end result. The fact that we are alive at all is without a doubt due to the fact that our lives are coming to an end. So when life ends, that’s it.
However, if you think about it in reverse, life begins when we are born. So when death comes to us, that means life has begun for us. So in essence, this quote is saying that the only thing stopping us from living our lives fully is death itself.
