I believe that it is part of life. I believe that we are born to die, to die that we may live more fully; born to die a little each day to selfishness, to pretence, and to sin. I believe that every time we pass from one stage of life to another, Something in us dies and something new is born. I believe we taste death in moments of loneliness, rejection, sorrow, disappointment, and failure. I believe that we are dying before our time when we live in bitterness, in hatred, and in isolation. I believe that each day we are creating our own death by the way we live. For those with faith, death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. Anonymous.
