Death may come to anyone at any time, regardless of his age, position or income. For a youth it's a tragedy. But it's a rest for the aged. The death of a man abusing his power is a great deliverance for the people. But it's a great loss if a popular leader passes away. It's a pity when a wealthy person kicks the bucket leaving behind him a large sum of money earned by hard work.

When facing the choice between life and death at the critical moment, many people are admired for preferring honor to life. There were some other respectable people who endured humiliation in order to carry out an important mission. They weren't scared of death. They valued life more than death.
