All are equal before death

This reality of death for all – the only absolute equality amongst all living beings – has never been contradicted or proved wrong.

No breach has ever formed or been made in this ineluctable physical absolute.

Across the millennia - across the ages -, human life has indeed found itself exposed to very different physical circumstances and to all sorts of physical conditions often extreme and to many variations of behavior as well as to a growing multiplicity of social, cultural and racial identities.

But always and constantly and without exception death has intervened and destroyed the body.

Behind all the noise and the movement, behind all the ceaseless succession of intensities, of lacks and of wants, of worries and miseries, of pleasures and of boredoms, there lies this abysm awaiting us, without a doubt.

Nothing else is certain.

This alone is sure= we are heading to the abysm, we will be taken by death.

Destroyed.

Physically.
