"It seems that the greatest fear of all is the fear of death. Man is stopped in his tracks and sheds tears for his future demise, rather than embracing the wonder of rejoining the universe from which he came - and which he is still a part. There is just a tiny blip in time that is his. It may seem too short, but it is still a lifetime after all."
