About This Quote

The only certainty life contains is death. This is a difficult thing to accept, but it is true. We have no guarantees about the future and living with this knowledge is often very difficult. We can never know if we will be alive in a week’s time, a month’s time, a year’s time, or even closer to our time of death.

In our daily life, we do not live in fear of death; we live with fear of disappointment and failure. If we lose at work, we feel like we have failed; if we lose in love and our relationship ends, we feel like we have failed; if we lose a friend or family member, we feel like we have lost someone who was important to us; if we fail at something that matters to us, life suddenly seems meaningless; when our children mature and leave the nest, the feeling is almost unbearable; and when we fear for our own lives and see death near at hand. We all fear death because it is the only certainty life contains.
