Montaigne advocates the pursuit of happiness in life, and people must be the ones who create their own lives. Life is short, but we have to enrich our lives, arrange our lives, and do n’t always think about the fear of death. Montaigne is an optimistic idea. He believes that living people create fear for death. This created fear is more terrible than death itself, creating a gloomy atmosphere. In this case, we have not died. Montaigne tells the story of the soldiers, just to show that death is inevitable. We do n’t care when death comes, it ’s no different from being alive and dead all day long. In fact, it tells us that death is nothing. We face the fear of death, and we face life seriously. The value of life is to live a good life every day. Do n’t fear death, let this fear fill our lives.
