"死亡并不是熄灭光明;它只是因为黎明已至而熄灭了灯火。"

Rabindranath Tagore

Simplified Meaning:

This quote suggests that death is not something to fear. Instead of thinking of death as the end, it's more like turning off a lamp when morning arrives. When dawn breaks, we no longer need the lamp because we have the sunlight. Similarly, death is like moving from one way of living to another, better one. For example, imagine you are camping at night with a lantern. When the sun rises, you don't need the lantern anymore because the natural light takes over. In the same way, life continues in a different form or place after death, and just like with the dawn, it might actually be a beautiful transition. This idea can help people feel more at peace with the concept of death, understanding it as a natural and positive change rather than something dark and scary.
