Likewise, the ancient Greeks glorified death, especially death in battle. Kleos, a word which roughly translates as “glory” or “reputation,” perfectly represents the Greek desire to be remembered as a hero. The Odyssey, written by Homer, critiques this desire by showing how the pursuit of kleos inevitably…

In life we all go through times that are very tough and we just want to give up and live no longer. We want the easy way out, but in life it's not the right choice to make.

When he caught tuberculosis in July of 1820 many of the sonnets he wrote contained his recognition of mortality.
