10 Terrifying Truths About Death
Death is a word that evokes a pounding in our hearts, a constant threat that lurks around us, an unexpected guest that separates us from this world.
We run after life day and night:
We chase after wealth, fame, desires, comforts, and the competition to outpace others…
But we don’t stop for a moment to ask ourselves:
“If death comes today, am I ready?”

Our eyes are filled with the colours of the world, but our hearts are becoming empty of the truths of the hereafter. 10 Terrifying Truths About Death
