Abstract
Though the exact methods by which one might "die twice" are unclear, the sage wisdom of modern-day philosopher Chris Rock is undeniable: regardless of whom one may be, one will certainly die. Concordantly, according to philosopher Martin Heidegger death is not only an inevitable end, but also an "ever-present certainty". "Beings-toward-death," as he considers humans, live with the possibility of death every day. However, Heidegger goes on to state that it is this "ever-present certainty" that gives life its "existential urgency;" knowledge that an individual will end gives that individual purpose to live now. Heidegger considers this to be "living in the light of death."
