“The more you fight with death, the more anxiety-ridden you will become, you are bound to become.  It is a natural consequence.  If you fight with death you know that you are going to be defeated.  How can you be happy with a life which is going to end in defeat?  You know that whatsoever effort you make, nothing is going to succeed against death.  Deep down you are certain about only one thing and that is death.  In life everything else is uncertain, only death is certain.  There is only one certainty, and in that certainty you have an enemy.  Fighting with certainty and hoping for uncertainties how can you be in a repose?  How can you be relaxed, calm, collected?  Impossible.” ~ Osho, The Art of Living and Dying
