Don't be afraid of death... but rather the unlived life.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

This reflection shifts the usual fear away from mortality itself and points it instead toward the quieter tragedy of never fully engaging with life while it lasts. It suggests that stagnation, not ending, is the real loss worth worrying about, reframing death as less threatening than wasted time.
