His will to live was waning, and it made him almost transparent, as though rather than dying, he might just disappear one day, leaving behind only a vague scent of regret.

About This Quote

When someone is dying, or nearing the end of their life, they may suddenly feel like they are fading away. They feel like they are less important than everyone else in their life. Sometimes, they may even feel like they are not very interesting at all. They can easily feel useless and small.

However, this does not have to be the case. As the author of The Silver Linings Playbook says, “Sometimes our greatest glory is not to live for ourselves alone, but to give life to others.” Find your purpose in life and then find ways to help others find theirs.
