Death may catch up with you at any
time. Who knows, perhaps this is the
moment. Or, it may be much closer
than you have ever expected.
These lines may be the last
opportunity, the last reminder, the
last warning before death comes
upon you. As you proceed with these
lines, you can never know that you
will still be alive in the next hour.
Even if it proves to be so, nothing
can guarantee you another hour. Let
alone an hour, not even after a
single moment, is it certain that you
will be still living. There is no
guarantee that you will ever finish
reading this passage. Death will,
most likely, come upon you at a time
when, only a moment before, you
never thought about dying.
You will most certainly die, as will all
your loved ones. Before you or after
you, they will certainly die. A
hundred years from now, there will
not be a single soul you are familiar
with in this world.
Endless aims pertaining to life
occupy man's minds; to finish high
school, to enter university, to
graduate, to have a respectable
occupation, to marry, to bring up
children, to lead a peaceful life...
These aside, there are thousands of
others devised to address one's
personal circumstances.
Death is one of the few things in life
certain to occur. This is a one
hundred per cent certainty.
After years of hard work, a student
succeeds in entering the university,
yet may die on the way to class. Or
someone who has recently been
hired for a job may lose his life on
his first morning commute to his
work. A traffic accident may end the
lives of a newly married couple on
their wedding day. A successful
businessman may prefer to fly to
save time, and his life may end in
an unexpected way.
