Why is death to be feared?
Fools fear it because they fear the unknown
For in the shadows lay in the unobserved
And in the unobserved lay the new
Death is in essence like a narrow hallway
Nothing can go with you
No turning around
The greatest title that man can earn is that of ready
For when this hallway presents itself
All badges and honors fall off. Disappear
Like dust off a book - Present yet gone
The hallway is not to be feared
With change comes progress
You will be born into a new world of your making
Your dust will determine your place
Therefore don't sacrifice your future to save your present
Even if the hallway reaches you before the others are ready
Inevitably, they cross the same threshold as you
And you meet up on the other side
Grief only comes when you fear
The time will come that you will yearn for their company
You will see each other again
But if both of you were good
You might end up together
