Quote by Henry David Thoreau
On the death of a friend, we should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend's life also, in our own, to the world.
Summary
This quote suggests that when a friend passes away, we should perceive it as our responsibility to not only live our own lives but also to live up to the potential and aspirations our friend had. The idea is to carry forward their hopes, dreams, and intentions in our own lives – essentially, fulfilling the purpose that our friend may have left unfinished. It emphasizes the notion that we have a duty to honor our friend's memory and make a positive impact on the world in their absence.
