Quote by D.L. Lewis

“Why do we sometimes suffer from grief over loved ones or defeat in our own lives?" asked the Rabbit. The Eagle replied: "The path to serenity is paved by adversity. Hardship makes us endure tragedy or setbacks. There is no content ending to anyone's story since we all inherit the same fault in the conclusion of our own breath. While one story will end in happiness, the other will end in terrible heartache; and it is you who decides the life you truly deserve.”

“Often, all we need is a wake-up call to realise the dangerous lifestyles we lead. The morbidity of death is the most common type of shock. When someone very close to us is taken away, it creates a well of many emotions. Of course sadness, but also regret for not making the most of our time together on earth. For some people, it can also bring guilt. While death is a natural part of life, it is easy to feel guilt for not stopping it.”
