Death makes no distinctions; it comes to everyone. There may be no such thing as a death that one can accept gladly with complete peace of mind. That is precisely why “liberation from birth, aging, illness, and death” becomes one of life’s major themes. Furthermore, because everyone must eventually face death, the greatest happiness is found in savoring the joy of being alive right now and living in the present moment in harmony with others.
