Death was a lens that would reveal things as they really were: what was important would assume its true importance what was unimportant would recede into the shadows.

About This Quote

Death is an unavoidable part of life. However, it doesn’t always have to be a hindrance. Death can give us the chance to see things for what they really are. It can show us how important something truly is.

It can also show us what was unimportant and allows us to move on with our lives. Death is not the end, but rather, the beginning of something new.
