“Dying is an art, like everything else ”

Sylvia Plath

Simplified Meaning:

Dying can be seen as something people can do gracefully or skillfully, just like painting, cooking, or dancing. Think of someone facing the end of their life with courage and acceptance, not fear or anger. For example, when a beloved grandmother calmly says goodbye to her family, shares wonderful memories, and leaves everyone with wise words, she shows how to face death with dignity. This is different from someone who might be scared or bitter, causing more pain for everyone around them. By handling their final moments with peace and kindness, they give a beautiful gift to their loved ones. So, how we deal with the end of our life can be just as important as the way we live it.
