"مرگ مخالف زندگی نیست بلکه بخشی از آن است"
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
Life and death are connected; death isn't something completely separate from being alive. Imagine a flower that blooms in the spring and withers in the winter. The blooming and withering are natural parts of the flower's life cycle. Similarly, being alive and passing away are both natural stages for people. Consider a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. The caterpillar ‘disappears’ to become the butterfly, but it’s all part of the same journey. We can think of our lives this way, seeing death as a change rather than an ending. Understanding this can help us appreciate and value our time, making the most of our experiences and connections. Embracing this idea can help reduce fear of death and encourage us to live fully and authentically.
