"Death is not the most tragic thing in our lives.
The difficulty is in the death of a person before death."
Yahya Kemal Beyatli, Turkish poet 1884-1958

Death is not the most tragic thing in our lives
The difficulty is in the death of a country before its population has had the chance to live, breathe and love it again

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in the death of an idea before it has been realised

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The tragedy is in the rationale we all use to justify our selfish behaviour

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The diffulty is in knowing that you'll never love like you once did

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in knowing that you are powerless to help people

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in the death of understanding

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in waking up tomorrow and knowing that the world will be changed forever

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in knowing that we cannot see every corner of the world at least once

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in an honest dream not being fulfilled

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in knowing you are powerless to create any kind of positive change

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in not being heard at least once by someone who understands you

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in the loss of our self against all our wishes

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in known failure before it has occurred

Death is not the most difficult thing in our lives
The difficulty is in knowing when to say enough is enough
