“The best argument I know for an immortal life is the existence of a man who deserves one.”

William James

Simplified Meaning:

This quote suggests that the most convincing reason to believe in life after death is seeing a person who has lived in such a good and admirable way that it feels like they should live forever. Imagine a person who is extremely kind, always helps others, and makes a big positive impact on the world. When we see someone like that, it feels unfair to think that their existence would just end with death. For example, think of famous figures like Mother Teresa. She dedicated her entire life to helping the poor and sick. It seems fitting that someone who did so much good would continue to exist beyond just their years on Earth. You can apply this idea by striving to live such a meaningful and kind life that others feel your goodness and impact should last forever.
