Summary

This quote embodies the eternal mystery and uncertainty of life and death. It acknowledges that the departure of individuals can lead them to different destinies, one towards the unknown realms of death, and the other towards the continuation of life. It humbly indicates that the judgement of what is better, the transition from life to death or the continuation of life, lies solely in the hands of a higher power: God. Ultimately, it serves as a contemplative reminder that the nature of existence and what lies beyond are unfathomable to human understanding.
