They who said among themselves, thinking not aright: "Brief and troublous is our lifetime. For haphazard were we born, and hereafter we shall be as though we had not been. Even our name will be forgotten in time, and no one will recall our deeds.
Neither is there any remedy for man's dying, nor is anyone known to have come back
from the nether world. For our lifetime is the passing of a shadow; and our dying
cannot be deferred because it is fixed with a seal; and no one returns.
Because the breath in our nostrils is a smoke and reason is a spark at the beating
of our hearts. And when this is quenched, our body will be ashes and our spirit
will be poured abroad like unresisting air.
For God formed man to be imperishable; the image of his own nature he made him.
But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world, and they who are in his
possession experience it.
Bible: The Book of Wisdom Chapter 2

Notes:
The rich and the poor, pretty or ugly, smart or dumb, famous or nobodies we are all alike and and our destination in life is the same. To born and to die. In our spiritual lives we begin.
