In this excerpt from Wittgenstein's work, the concept of death is explored as something that does not occur within the spectrum of life itself. He suggests that death is not an experience, indicating a distinction between life's events and the notion of dying. Instead, he emphasizes the idea of eternity, implying that a true understanding of life transcends the finite timeline we experience.

Wittgenstein argues that if we grasp timelessness rather than just a limited temporal duration, we can recognize that those who truly live in the present experience an eternal existence. He likens our life to our visual field, which extends endlessly, suggesting that life, like sight, has no definitive boundaries when viewed from the right perspective.
