When Does a Man Truly Die? Death is not just the stopping of breath. The body may fall, but the man lingers in names spoken, stories remembered, and deeds that live on. True death comes only when no one recalls him, when his name is lost to silence. Yet even then, time plays its tricks. A forgotten poem may be sung again, an old record rediscovered, and the man breathes once more. So perhaps no one ever truly dies. We only fade, waiting either for silence or for rediscovery.
