Examples of lifetime in a Sentence

1. Emeasoba George:

   Never be bothered that your life or journey here (on earth) will end or cease someday. After all, anyone who is down already ought not to fear to fall down anymore.

Yes! you heard me right and what I'm talking about is not a matter of choice (mark you). ~Emeasoba George
