Notwithstanding best practices, penances, prayers, and anything else, I will still die. Death may come in any way, through illness, accident or treachery. It may come from the hand of an enemy who proves superior at that moment; which is fate. This does not mean I should stop what I am doing and go into hiding, or hibernation. Death will come even then. On the contrary it means I should start preparing for my (inevitable) death, so that I can pass without fear or regret.
