Reflection on Life & Death

 Bi-ligual, 双语.

We can only do these reflections about life and death while we are still alive and kicking. Once kicked the bucket, there is no need for reflection.

It’s been said many times that life is not about the destination, but the journey. Life is all about the people you meet and the things you learn along the way. Even as you get older and busier, it’s incredibly important to reflect on how you’ve lived your life thus far. 

我们只能在我们还活着的时候做这些关于生与死的反思。 一旦踢了水桶，就不需要反思。

 很多人说过，人生不在于目的地，而在于旅程。 生活就是你遇到的人和你一路上学到的东西。 即使随着年龄的增长和忙碌，反思迄今为止的生活也是非常重要的。

Reflecting on life can sound opaque and wishy-washy at times, especially because it encourages you to sit and think about all your greatest triumphs and misses. Despite the perhaps intimidating silence required to reflect, it is not impossible to do so, no matter how old you are. All of humanity has one core thing in common: that we will all eventually die. 

Accepting that sobering thought can take time, especially if you’ve recently dealt with the death of a loved one. If you’re looking for some words to help you assess where you are now, here are some quotes to give you that much-needed perspective. 

反思生活有时听起来不透明和空想，特别是因为它鼓励你坐下来思考你所有最伟大的胜利和失败。 尽管反思可能需要令人生畏的沉默，但这并非不可能，无论您多大年纪。 全人类有一个核心共同点：我们最终都会死去。

 接受这种发人深省的想法可能需要时间，尤其是如果您最近处理了所爱之人的死亡。 如果您正在寻找一些词来帮助您评估您现在所处的位置，这里有一些引言可以为您提供急需的观点。

Sad Quotes on Death

Feeling sad about death is natural. Even if you’re not dealing with it right now, death itself can bring up fear and sadness about the unknown. 

1. “Death in itself is nothing; but we fear to be we know not what, we know not where.” — John Dryden, Poet

Dryden, the first Poet Laureate of England, wrote many of his poems when death was a major literary theme. 

2. “When it’s time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.” — Henry David Thoreau, Philosopher

As a Transcendentalist, Thoreau prioritized connection with nature. Taking the time to connect with yourself, according to Thoreau, is far more important than external or physical achievements. 

3. “I think death is equally terrible for everyone. Young people, old people, the good, the bad; it’s always the same. It’s rather fair in its treatment. There’s no such thing as a terrible death, that’s why it’s frightening.” — Sunako, Author

Death is often seen as “the great equalizer” and is an absolute for everyone. The idea of an arbitrary ending, outside of anything you can do to stop it, can seem terrifying. 

4. “Life will undertake to separate us, and we must each set off in search of our own path, our own destiny or our own way of facing death.” — Paulo Coelho, Author

You might be familiar with Coelho’s popular book The Alchemist. Most books, including his, involve a journey to self-discovery.

5. “People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely. It’s too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies.” — Haruki Murakami, Author

Taken from his popular book Dance, Dance, Dance, Murakami is a master at examining the feelings we all encounter when we face death. You don’t know how long you have with someone, or with your own life, which makes each day incredibly special. 

6. “Isn’t it sad that so often it takes facing death to appreciate life and each other fully?” — Esther Earl, Activist

Have you heard of the book and movie The Fault in Our Stars? Earl is the real-life inspiration for author John Green’s protagonist, Hazel, a positive and sensitive teenager suffering from terminal cancer.

7. “Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.” —Mitch Albom, Author

One of the more mind-bending quotes on this list, Albom recognizes the sole pressure humans put on themselves because of our ability to record the passage of time.

8. “You know, what’s so dreadful about dying is that you are completely on your own.” — Vladimir Nabokov, Author

Many people want loved ones at their bedside. But the fact that loved ones can’t join them in death can feel lonely and terrifying. 

9. “The typical human behavior is to seek security and certainty. We fear death because it’s the unknown and nobody can give us answers.” — Maxime Lagacé, Hockey Player

Achieving security is the goal of our lives. We go to college, get into careers, and support our families for it. But death infuses insecurity and fragility into every move we make. 

10. “The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” — Harriet Beecher Stowe, Activist

As one of the best writers and antislavery activists that supported the Underground Railroad, Stowe knew a thing or two about action. But even she had regrets.
