Non est Vivere sed Valere Vita est Natalie Babbitt once said “Do not fear death‚ but rather the unlived life. You don’t have to live forever. You just have to live.” Those who have lived a good life do not fear death‚ but meet it calmly‚ and even long for it in the face of great suffering. But those who do not have a peaceful conscience‚ dread death as though life means nothing but physical torment. The challenge is to live our life so that we will be prepared for death when it comes.
