COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

 A painting of a scene at
night with 11 swirly stars and a bright yellow crescent moon. In the
background there are hills, in the middle ground there is a moonlit town
with a church that has an elongated steeple, and in the foreground
there is the dark green silhouette of a cypress tree and houses.

Mixed opinions:

Van Gogh
died in 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise where he was painting the wheat fields.
He sustained a gunshot injury to his abdomen while out in those fields
before dying in an inn two days later. On his death bed he revealed he
had shot himself.

The death of Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch post-Impressionist painter, occurred in the early morning of 29 July 1890, in his room at the Auberge Ravoux
in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise in northern France. Van Gogh was shot
in the stomach, either by himself or by others, and died two days
later

This reddit post claims that Vincent Van Gogh's final words were "la tristesse durera toujours", and that that translates to "the sadness will last forever".Oct 3, 2016
