“When the moment of death comes, we can only realize the ephemeral nature of what we call life. Yet, throughout our lives, we argue, hold grudges, get angry, jealous, fight, and regret. All the conflicts that erupt in the world cast a dark shadow on human existence. Even though they know that everything will end in death in the end, people do not know how to give up. We get angry over insignificant things. Anger gives importance to things that are fundamentally unimportant. Anger makes us forget that one day we will die.”
