Inevitable
We spend our lives learning how to not die. But does dying early make a life less valuable? Is a shorter life just a lesser life, inferior to the lives that last longer? In the end, it does not matter much what our life is worth, for eventually we all die and join the vast oblivion. Most live their lives attempting to impact the world, but eventually a day will come when even Shakespeare, Cleopatra, and Da Vinci will have their names mentioned a final time--because death is inevitable.
"I mean, they say that you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."
-Banksy
