Living Backwards

Woody Allen said, “It’s not that I’m afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” Aristotle said that death is the thing that is to be feared most because it represents the end of life. Jean-Paul Sartre asserted that death removes all meaning from life and represents the worst moment of anyone’s life.
