Norman Cousins, American Essayist and Editor of Saturday Review

PS: Death is really overwhelming to face because you’ll only experience it once in your life. But the truth is, everyone has to go through it, whether you know the exact time you’re going to die or not, you still need to face it. Death is not really significant per se because everyone dies anyway. It’s what living your life (and what you lived throughout your life) that truly matters. Death may end a person’s life, but it will never end the person’s relationship to other people. It will never end your significance in this life.

PPS: I just want to inspire someone, even though it might be too harsh and direct to the point.
