dont be afraid of death, be afraid of the unlived life.
I have always loved astronomy, and being an astronomer once lurked in the back of my mind. But I was never good at algebra. In fact, I flunked it twice in high school.
You can't have living without dying. So you can't call it living, what we got. We just are, we just be, like rocks beside the road.
Like all magnificent things, it's very simple.
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live.
