Think of death not as a fearsome specter but as a “tragic mask”—an object that might seem intimidating at a glance but upon closer inspection, is entirely harmless.

It’s a reminder that our bodies are temporary vessels, destined to part ways with our spirit just as it was before our birth.

So why do we let the inevitability of death trouble us so deeply?

By pondering death as merely a transition we all face, we are invited to focus on living well rather than living in dread of dying.

If our spirits are eternal, doesn't it make more sense to cultivate virtues and enrich our souls with good deeds, rather than squander time fearing a natural process?

Let's shift our perspective on death, stripping away its tragic mask, and in doing so, liberate ourselves to live more fully and fearlessly.
