No Escape From Death

We were born and someday, we will die. This is life. No one lives forever. There is no escape from death. The sooner we understand, and accept this fact of life, the sooner we learn not to attach too much importance to our lives. When death beckons, like it or not, we have to go, leaving everything behind.
