A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.

Summary

This quote suggests that, similar to how a dying person needs to accept death and a sleepy person must surrender to sleep, there are certain things in life that are inevitable and resisting them becomes futile and morally incorrect. It implies that there is a natural order and timing to events, and trying to resist or prolong them only leads to unnecessary resistance and suffering. Accepting and embracing the inevitable can lead to peace and fulfillment.
