It is to death that it is to life. It is the way of the life to find death in the end‚ that no life has no end‚ and that death must exist for life to exist. As an excerpt from my reflection of life quoted‚ “To find the meaning of life is a journey to an end; what one can attain is the construction of a personal meaning in the daily undertaking of living itself‚” death is nothing but an undertaking itself‚ that no one‚ perhaps nothingness can only dwell into‚ an absence of any form of life.
