Don't wait for the death to come to you...
The irony of life is most people are just sitting around and thinking that to be afraid of dying can save them. and they waste all their life on the fear of something that they cannot avert.

If Omar Mukhtar would have lived with the same fear though out his life then we would not have known him as we know him now. He decided to fight in the old age, when he could have easily retired and died on his bed instead of hanging on gallows. But he decided against.
                 Does any one remembers the people who chained him? Does any one remember the the Fat Italian on the extreme right or how did he died? No wonder if he would have died of over eating. My point is not about despair but its about the hope even if you are on the death bed and you know the death is certain.
