When death overtakes us; all that we have is left to others;

Summary

This quote suggests that when we die, we leave behind all our belongings and possessions for others to inherit. However, what truly defines us as individuals - our character, values, and experiences - cannot be bequeathed or shared. Instead, these intangible aspects accompany us into the unknown realms of death. It serves as a reminder to prioritize the accumulation of meaningful experiences, relationships, and personal growth instead of material possessions.

Passion makes us feel alive, makes us sing, makes us feel in touch with something powerful and wonderful, just as it would if we followed this meaning in life in a more spiritual practice. In the West it is often through such relationships, through another human being, that we search desperately for something, not knowing it is to be found within ourselves.
