‎Death Is Enough, the Best Advice

Recently, many people have died in my neighborhood, from the elderly, adults, teenagers, and even toddlers. The causes of death vary: some are due to long-standing serious illnesses, others suddenly die while playing during the day, and still others die in accidents.

But, whatever the cause, isn't everyone who breathes going to die?

Regarding this, there's a saying that death is like a door, and everyone will enter it.

If I think about this proverb more deeply, philosophically, it means that all humans are essentially walking towards death's door. Although we might literally be walking, eating, being with a loved one, or engaging in other activities, we are all essentially walking our own paths towards death's door. We also don't know for sure who among us will enter it first.

Still on the subject of death, there's a saying that I find very wise: "Death is Sufficient as the Best Advice for Mankind."

The events of death that we often witness or hear about, secretly carry the best advice for all of us as ordinary humans who will also experience death. What are the best pieces of advice from death? Let's understand them one by one.

1. The first piece of advice is that humans are destined to meet and then part. To leave or be left behind. Therefore, while we're still alive, it's best to write a history of kindness for everyone we meet.
‎
2. The second piece of advice is that no matter how close we are to our friends, no matter how much we love our partners, when we die, none of our friends, companions, lovers, or family will accompany us to the grave. The only companions we will have are our prayers and good deeds. Based on that, how much more beautiful it would be if we weren't too attached to anyone in this world.
‎
3. The third piece of advice is that some people, after death, live on in the memories of many, remembered as good and wise people. However, there are also people whose deaths leave behind such negative memories that upon hearing their names, the living immediately curse. A wise man said that if we are forgotten after death, then we have died twice. But how will those memories remember us even after we die? Good memories or bad ones? Think about it!!!

Finally, I will quote the following wise words: "And no one knows in which land we will die."
