Death is a panic that shadows our everywhere and every day – disguised, so we remain oblivious to how close we are to its grasp. It is a malignant presence weighing upon every other in the world – a phobia that could make everything vanish. We are too engulfed by obsessions with becoming successful, wealthy and influential, and are constantly competing amongst ourselves. We fail to recognise that time is limited, and that instead of surviving amongst death’s sorrowing greys, we should start living in the full colour of our amazing world.
