"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." --Norman Cousins

How to Live and Die

Death is rarely spoken about in our homes. "I wonder why," remarks Khushwant Singh. At 95, Singh thinks of death very often. But he does not lose sleep over it. A self-described agnostic, Singh states that ultimately, he does "not know what happens to us after we die but one should help a person go in peace--at peace with himself and with the world." From his 95 years of experience, Singh offers eight insights into a life of peace and happiness. They include: good health, understanding companionship, fulfilling hobbies, time for introspection, and patience.
