Quote by Japanese Proverb

Duty is heavy as a mountain but Death is lighter than a feather.

Duty is heavy as a mountain but Death is lighter than a feat

Summary

This quote implies that fulfilling one's obligations and responsibilities in life may be burdensome and require great effort (comparing duty to a heavy mountain). However, when confronted with death, all of these worldly concerns become insignificant and weightless (symbolizing death as lighter than a feather). It suggests that the weight of obligations and responsibilities pales in comparison to the inevitability and finality of death, highlighting the transient nature of human existence.
