Summary

This quote reflects the inevitability of death and the acceptance of one's mortality. The speaker acknowledges that death is a universal truth, emphasizing that everyone, including themselves, will eventually face their own mortality. The reference to being a mountain or a stone on the beach highlights the transient nature of life and the idea that even after death, one's existence can still serve a purpose, as they will become part of the cycle of nature and nourishment for other living beings.
