Iron rusts from disuse;

stagnant water loses it purity

and in cold weather becomes frozen;

even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

It is hard to have patience with people who say

'There is no death' or 'death doesn't matter.'

There is death.

And whatever is matters.

And whatever happens has consequences,

and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible.

You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.

Leonardo da Vinci
