Beyond Breath
Death is not to be feared, but understood as another passage into existence.
It is not merely the cessation of breath, but the ultimate tragedy of vanishing from the soul of the earth without leaving a single footprint behind.
Therefore, embrace death when it comes as a sacrifice for the preservation of life, for in giving life to others, we transcend death through the legacy we leave behind.
