The Death of Reality and the Reality of Death Death is never easy. Afterall it is the only sure thing anyone will ever do. Yet how one dies is determined by how they live. One who lives their life to the fullest will be content and open to death‚ while one whose life has been empty will fear it; but what if the difference between full and empty was not so easily differentiated?
