As Your World Comes to an End
Death often portrayed as something that must be feared or is frightening. Most people find death as something to be fearful of because of the uncertainty and not having control over their final moments of life, but death is just the end of earthly life and the beginning of an eternal life. In reality, no one will ever truly experience death because in order to experience something you must be conscious, however, if you are conscious you aren't dead. If death is simply the end to your existence, what was there before your birth? Why shall we fear something that we expect to meet one day? You shouldn't, at the end of the day. It is inevitable. Death is what makes life worth living, although, life can be relentless and ruthless most times. All things must come to an end, even life.
