Emil M. CioranFear of death is merely the projection into the future of a fear which dates back to our first moment of life.
About This Quote
This quote is a great reminder for all of us who struggle with our fears and anxieties. We all start out as babies and we all die one day. We all pass through the stages of life and we will all eventually die. This is a fact that we must never deny or run from.
The fear of death is nothing to be afraid of as it is nothing more than a fear of something that will happen to us as long as we live. As long as we live, we will die. Death cannot stop us from living so, why should we fear it?
