People fear not just of dying
But they fear more of living
As living entails – facing failures
Dealing with uncertainties
Coming to terms with the past
Accepting one’s mediocrity and shortcomings
Not knowing if one should yield to or fight
The assured vicissitudes of life
Above all – the certainty of eventual death
It’s truly a miracle that humans can live
And sometimes even thrive in this world
