All of us know these two ultimate truths of our lives.
First, death is inevitable.
And second, life is finite.
Contant realization of these two ultimate truths bestows upon us some kind of a philosophical power, the power to live life with contentment and to embrace our death, when it comes, with deep humility.
Such a realization also has a profound philosophical value.
After one drops dead and is forever gone, nothing that happens in this world has any relevance for the departed. The trials and tribulations of living through life is relevant only till the time one is not dead.
Knowing it fully well that one would be gone is a powerful tool for living a life full of contentment.
In some sense, life's purpose is not really just to live a happy life but rather to constantly prepare oneself to eventually die a happy death.
Death serves a very useful purpose. It makes one adopt a philosophical outlook about life.
One may think why to try to do better tomorrow than what one did today because one would be dead, in any case, the day after if not tomorrow.
But that doesn't help.
Living as long as it is possible and as good a manner as is possible should be one's real motto in life.
Realization that death is inevitable and life is finite should give one a sense of philosophical nothingness.
One should keep on trying to do better and better and not let setbacks and bad experiences hold one from action habit. One should try to live one's life with passion and as if there is no tomorrow.
Death is a beautiful culmination of what one calls as life. Remember, life is finite and death is inevtable.
Let death come tomorrow, or when it has to, even if it happens all of a sudden.
So get ready to welcome death when it appears at the door!
