About This Quote
The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death; it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way. This quote brings up an interesting point. While the idea of being “on the way” implies that we are still alive, even after our final breath.
The truth is that our demise is an inevitable part of the process. Although it might be difficult to accept, we all die eventually.
