war denial alive
Is war perhaps nothing else but a need to face death, to conquer and master it, to come out of it alive -- a peculiar form of denial of our mortality?
losing-a-loved-one dying wonderful
Dying is nothing to fear. It can be the most wonderful experience of your life. It all depends on how you've lived.
choices crushed polished
When life puts you through a tumbler, it's your choice whether you come out polished or crushed.
death each-day ifs
I always say that death can be one of the greatest experiences ever. If you live each day of your life right, then you have nothing to fear.
death pain war
I have learned there is no joy without hardship. There is no pleasure without pain. Would we know the comfort of peace without the distress of war?
death self growth
Death is the final stage of growth in this life. There is no total death. Only the body dies. The self or the spirit, or whatever you may wish to label it, is eternal. You may interpret this in any way that makes you comfortable.

Negativity can only feed on negativity.
grief loss want
If you truly want to grow as a person and learn, you should realize that the universe has enrolled you in the graduate program of life, called loss.

Everything in this life has a purpose, there are no mistakes, no coincidences.

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.
life-lesson loss trying

How do the geese know when to fly to the sun?
death worry alive
It's not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather our concern must be to live while we're alive.
mean issues dying
Dying is an integral part of life, as natural and predictable as being born. But whereas birth is cause for celebration, death has become a dreaded and unspeakable issue to be avoided by every means possible in our modern society. Perhaps it is that.
