At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go back in the same box. Life is a dream walking, death is a going home. The act of dying is also one of the acts of life. The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone. Death is sometimes a punishment, sometimes a gift; to many it has come as a favor. The test of your worldview is not how you act in the good times, the test of your worldview is how you act at the funeral. You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth of falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. The dead and the absent have no friends. Courage leads to heaven; fear, to death. Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
