Around 2400 years ago one of the most famous Greek philosophers Socrates said:
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
And About 150 years ago, the renowned Urdu poet from the Indian subcontinent Dagh Dehlvi wrote:
Yeh samajh kar tujhe ae maut laga rakkha hai
Ke kaam aata hai bure vaqt me aana tera.
Translation:In contemplation, we hold death close to our hearts, Aware of its significance in the gravest and most difficult hours.
Even after thousands of years of human progress we still believe that death offers solace and ultimate peace from life's cruelties.
