Well expressed. Death is not to be feared.

I like the idea of death being shifted into a guiding star: flipping a negative reality into a cause to define (and truly live) one's morality.

If we do, we will be more humble and caring of the world--well said my friend.

Those that lead good lives see death as a portal to a better world, it is nothing to fear. Like your photo Demetrios. Stay safe Tom
