It is an iron law. There is general agreement about this.
Given that your eventual death is certain, how should life be lived? Is the moment of death especially important, and is it something we should prepare for?
Hindus and Buddhists attach particular importance to the moment of death, as it is seen as critical segue to either our next incarnation, or possibly enlightenment. Doing some good deeds, then remembering them as you die, or more generally developing good habits to prepare for the moment are a couple of pieces of advice that I've heard.
The Dalai Lama advises that we try to spend that moment in calm acceptance.
