The Garden of Death by Hugo Simberg (Source: Wikipedia)

We don’t know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That’s what death is, don’t you think?

Itachi Uchiha from Naruto

The essence of our beings, the core of our true nature, often remains shrouded in mystery throughout the course of our lives.

It’s a profound realization that the truest reflection of who we are does not fully reveal itself until we find ourselves on the precipice of our final moments. As death approaches, extending its inevitable embrace, a clarity emerges, casting light on the depths of our character, our desires, and our fears.

In these fleeting seconds, as we stand at the threshold of eternity, we are confronted with the essence of our existence, stripped of all pretenses and the facades we’ve meticulously constructed.

This confrontation with our mortality serves not just as an end but as a mirror, reflecting the most authentic version of ourselves. It’s in this profound and pivotal moment that we come to understand the significance of our lives and the legacy we leave behind. Therefore, death is not just an end but a revelation, a final teacher who imparts the wisdom of self-awareness and truth, showing us who we truly are in the most unguarded and raw form.

This realization underscores the belief that the understanding of our true selves is intertwined with the acceptance of our mortality, making death not just an inevitality to fear, but a critical element in the journey of self-discovery.
