R’ Eliyahu Baruch Finkel zt”l (M’Shulchan Rav Elya Baruch) would say:
“Chazal tell us: ‘Hashem lifted the mountain over their heads and said ‘If you accept the Torah good, but if not, your burial will be there’ (ע"ז ב:) Since Bnei Yisroel served idols in Egypt, they deserved death, however, Hashem said if they accept the Torah, they can live. Thus, it says 'שם' - ‘there’ will be your grave, referring to Egypt where they deserved death.”
A Wise Man would say: “Count your age by friends, not by years. Count your life by smiles, not by tears.”
