As far as your second question is concerned, then I think that this statement has been proved to be true in some premature deaths, so yeah it is relevant to the story.

Nice response on the second part about life being guaranteed first. But what kind of life are we guaranteed? Quality comes into question here. The philosopher's question of "did he really live?" comes to play here. Would you in the positive sense say that Gary in the black line was guaranteed life when in fact he has been living a halved life since his adolescence and now faces the hangman's noose for murder?Nathaniel Owolabi wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 04:34 Well, I do not think people say that, since this is the first time I have read this. To answer your second question, I do agree that death is guaranteed in life but I do not think it is the only thing guaranteed, I think life is also guaranteed for before you die you have to live. I do think it is rather relevant to prove his point,
Sure, life in the simplest sense of being born is guaranteed. But I think our mortality makes death guaranteed. On the other hand, if you do not like the cards you were dealt with in life and are not able to elevate yourself then you probably never lived. Just another NPC who could not revel in their own story.

Not necessarily true. I believe the human mind is so powerful that you can completely control your life. The human emotion is only made up of hormones, you could retrain your brain. You could be in pain and not feel pain at all because you have complete control over your body response. You can be sad and convince yourself to be happy, you could even be facing death penalty and be the happiest man alive. You are in control of your mind and how you feel. That's one thing people use religion to do, and it effective for some.Wesley Friday wrote: ↑24 Aug 2021, 16:06Nice response on the second part about life being guaranteed first.

Well, the statement is relevant to the story because there was obviously a murder in the story. Whilst death is guaranteed and the deceased saw this to be true, I must say that she died way too young

I guess you are right, people do not think like that on a regular basis because it is not a subject they keep in their consciousness always. But you'd be surprised at the number of people who would think like this or share similar sentiments say at a funeral or when a disastrous event does happen. People do think like that, just that it takes something more to bring those thoughts to the surface.
