A few days later, he overcame death.

As long as we live, time does not stand still. Today’s triumph is tomorrow’s memory. Yesterday’s defeat is today’s lesson. It is important to keep up with the present moment and what will be needful as actions in the near future. Dwelling on the past, good or bad, is a distraction to release.
