Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good. When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened. Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back. Death may be the greatest of all human blessings. Death is a fearful thing. No one can outrun death. It will catch up to all of us eventually. A burning light may go out, a sailing man may drown. Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness. It is natural to believe in God when you're alone - quite alone, in the night, thinking about death.
