Book Report on of Death

Nature favors everyone alike, rich or poor, so all humans will have to embrace naturally the death-the last gift offered by it. At proper time, all of us will have a longest rest, lying on the owned solitary land without any feelings. While, just as Bacon expressed in of death, the following reactions like groans, convulsions discolored face and so on are more scaring than the death itself. Meanwhile, the possible reason for this phenomenon is that death -a swift end will barely last for a little which of course brings spiritual fear instead of external chronic pains. Hence, this inspires us to respect life and the rare living chance as well.

However, for a man who has known human joys and sorrows in his limited life and has achieved whatever work he desires to do, it would be unperturbed to the arrival of death. Therefore only when we exert ourselves will we leave pities scarcely. While paradoxically, to most humans who has possessed much more than others, the fear of death seems somewhat abject and ignoble. This will conversely warn us that how happy we are depends on what attitude we will adopt even when confronting the death.

Specifically, what is supposed to be pointed out in this text is that death cannot conquer ambitious soul which will keep its nature without any distortion. Just like those celebrities in different fields depicted in this essay, the finest love, the keenest work, the greatest faith have played indispensible role in their success. Those are the strongest backbone to fend off all hardships and pains, even the inevitable death all the time. It will undoubtedly admit that their soul sprits will last forever despite that the physical body falls down.

Just like once someone said, an individual existence should be like a river, small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately, past boulders and over waterfalls, and then it merged in the sea. Life is barely different from this, hence, we should be content

with everything approaching, even death. We have done everything before we regret effortlessly.

Some dies, but he is still living in our heart, whereas some lives, he has died in our memory instead. This is exactly the gist of the question of to be or not to be.
