Every aspect of our lives can be be changed. Mistakes can be corrected. Everything in the world can be worn away through time or renewed – great civilizations, fortifications, everything created by humans. Death is permanent, but the transition to death is in itself a change.
Death may be inevitable, but it is also the one thing in life you can be sure will happen and we as people do not have any control over.
Death- is inevitable.
