People Die, People Live.

You don’t fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else.

People die. That is the essential truth that you learn. And after you learn it, all other matters seem irrelevant. They just seem small.

But there is another truth, too. People live. It’s an equal and opposing truth. People live, and in the most remarkable ways. When you open your eyes and see, you’ll see more beauty and triumph and truth in a single day than you ever did.
