"Time is akin to an illusion and moves like a pendulum. The months and years are wasted doing nothing and suffering eternally repeats. In the end, everything returns to dust. Even if those brave warriors are able to defend this vast great world, they won't be able to escape the pain of illness and the Reaper of Death. In the end, what meaning is there to life?" the Old Man sighed.
"The meaning of life is to stubbornly prevail—to live without regrets," Nie Yan said, while deep in contemplation. These were the insights he had gained this life after living through his previous one. He continued replying to the Old Man's question. "All their loved ones, their fellow brothers... all of them are here alongside them in this vast world. They continue to resist the attacks of their enemies for the sake of bringing them happiness. They stake their lives in order to defend this conviction. That is their honor and that is their glory. In doing so, the God of Light will protect them."
-Rebirth Thief C.10

Some are living just for the sake of surviving, because anything is possible as long as the are alive. Some rather die than living with eyes open white.
'biar putih tulang jangan berputih mata', a famous Malays saying.
Who is the wisest of man? The one who always remember death.
