The majority of human beings seem to spend little time meditating about death, or about their own nature, which is death’s fundamental cause. Such lack of self-examination leads to a lack of self-knowledge, and therefore people drift along through life, making their decisions according to the dictates of their own natural desires. There is a refusal — albeit heavily masked — to take on board the fact that life is so short that all too soon the finality of death will be upon us.
“For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” (James 4:14)
“We must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again.” (2 Samuel 14:14)
