hypatia42"All we know is that death is the inevitable outcome."
This phrase struck me in another post. It struck me as profound and at the same time redundant. Of course death is the inevitable outcome. Its what you put before and after that statement that makes it what it needs to be.
Most people I know fight the truth of that statement with every fiber of their beings. A friend of mine has been frequently heard to say, "I'm going to be the first man to live forever." At this point in my life I am simply grateful I can call that man a friend.
Change is inevitable. We do get to choose how we incorporate that change.
I would like mine to read: We may never know what to expect from her life on a day to day basis. She continues to surprise us. All we know is that death is the inevitable outcome.
