Interpretation
I wonder if this is alluding to Seneca: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_that_broke_the_camel%27s_back#:~:text=It%20is%20not%20the%20last%20drop%20that%20empties%20the%20water-clock%2C%20but%20all%20that%20which%20previously%20has%20flowed%20out%3B%20similarly%2C%20the%20final%20hour%20when%20we%20cease%20to%20exist%20does%20not%20of%20itself%20bring%20death%3B%20it%20merely%20of%20itself%20completes%20the%20death-process.%20We%20reach%20death%20at%20that%20moment%2C%20but%20we%20have%20been%20a%20long%20time%20on%20the%20way. It is not the last drop that empties the water-clock, but all that which previously has flowed out; similarly, the final hour when we cease to exist does not of itself bring death; it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.] But I don't have any sources for that, so I guess it's WP:OR. --Macrakis (talk) 15:38, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
