One can be unhappy by oneself, but to be truly tormented,

one must love.

Love is harder to accept than to give.

To love is to embrace life. To love fully is to embrace both

death and life.

The secret of happiness is simple: be loving, giving,

caring.

Why, then, are so many unhappy?

Because we are afraid.

    Death has always scared me
    And now it seems near
    We're told it seems near
    But I'm confused
    You're such a fighter
    And I'm so afraid
    I don't know what to think anymore
    I don't know how to be anymore
    This is taking its toll on me
