Mortality.
The mere mention of the word can cause those to turn away, change the subject,
or become fearful. Life is the mother of death. That which is born, must die
someday. All followers of the Dao know that death is natural. In Julius Caesar,
Shakespeare wrote;
Cowards
die many times before their deaths;
The
valiant never taste of death but once.
Of
all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It
seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing
that death, a necessary end,
Will
come when it will come.
