The Uncomfortable Truth of Life: Eventually, everyone dies, and much of what we do or say holds little importance.
You too are going to die and that is because you are fortunate enough to have lived
Death is certain and should guide our values and decisions, avoiding superficial pursuits like wealth, fame, and beauty.
Death reminds us to focus on values beyond ourselves, echoing the timeless wisdom from various sources like Aristotle, Confucius, psychological studies, and religious teachings.
Confronting mortality forces us to consider our legacy, emphasizing that greatness isn't defined by material achievements but by the values we uphold in life.
Despite our insignificance in the cosmic scale, our existence leaves an echo in the universe, emphasizing that significance doesn't require grandeur, as even the smallest actions can hold meaning.

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten.  You either write things worth reading or you do things worth writing. 
-Ben Franklin

Make your life count.
For in embracing life's impermanence, we find the essence of true meaning.
