You may probe into the heart of literature and reap its many fruits, you may rest into the bosom of gnosis attainment for many years, even decades, but there will come a time when all the knowledge you conquered and cherished will be violently robbed of you, and you will have to go into dark depths alone and vulnerable. Death comes for all. Each breath you take, each page you turned, each book you read, each library you studied takes you closer and closer to the final hour. Death never stops coming closer, and here you are, totally vulnerable to this most terrible god yet without the smallest amount of worry in your heart, just like a naive cow being led to the slaughterhouse where she will be decapitated.

How can you ignore this most important fact? You're all extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in the literature domain, yet you ignore the invincible demon that will eat your heart very soon! How can you tarry? The intelligent person will clearly see that he should focus all his efforts in overcoming this most definitive destiny. All else is secondary. Don't waste your life reading books!

We can only hope that our creations outlast us. Most achieve this through reproduction. Some create art, philosophies, etc.
No one has overcome physical death yet.
