Quote by Henry Fielding

It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.

It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that

Summary

This quote suggests that the fear and dread associated with death stem more from the process of dying rather than death itself. It implies that the actual experience of dying, with its potential pain or suffering, is what makes it terrifying. However, once death has occurred, the quote proposes that it may not be as fearsome as anticipated. It prompts reflection on the distinction between the fear of what might happen during the dying process and the acceptance of death as a natural part of life.

The Christian community latched onto a lot of my music, because there were a lot of things about my struggle they related to. But I didn't really want to come out and be identified as a Christian, because I didn't want to be a hypocrite, because my life wasn't right.

I was a 'Duck Hunt' and 'Mario' guy, and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool, new toys. I was the youngest child, I wasn't the only child, so I wasn't spoiled as a kid. And, we were on the farm, so we didn't have a lot. Also, with computers, I'm not very good with them. I just check my email.
