Final Death Paper
The circle of life contains many different events that are unique for everyone, but in between these events lie two components that are consistent: life and death. Although life is an important concept, life would not be as sacred without death. Death is prevalent for everyone, but it is important because without it we would fail to recognize the importance of a life. If we focus too much on death we might be paranoid and afraid to live in the moment, but on the other hand, if we view death as in the distant future we could waste our life prolonging the inventible. Therefore, we need to find that intermediate balance between living life to its fullest potential without being too obsessed with the fear of dying. By recognizing death, we can then essentially recognize how to live our lives in a healthy spiritual way.
