i hate when quotes like this make sense and we're NOT suppose to FEAR something......grrrrrr this guy is too logical!! Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which cannot exist when I do? -Epicurus, philosopher (c.341-270 BCE) |

The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead. Hagakure (The way of the Samurai) |

That quote ignores time and change. I fear death because: 01) there is a distinct possibility that i will suddenly be UN for ever and ever and ever and ever &tc 02) i don't want to be there when it happens |

I'm scared of not existing; I dunno about you |

But I don't control that I know that mine's precious til the end I leave my lifecourse to the greater knowledge of the creator And if it's time to go, I won't hold back, I'll just let it, go.. Let it flow, if it's meant to come back then it shall do so *the herbaliser feat. what what, "let it go", from Very Mercenary* |

Epicurus was a sucker. Sure he died fearfully cryin' like a child... Never take philosophers too seriously, I used to be one of them... ...gotta end my studies someday... ...argh... |

Maybe you should not associate with those who conform to such stereotypes then. |

Read Soygal Rimpoche's revision of The Tibetan Book of Death. Learned a lot there. A LOT. Fear gone away... |

Its camp Australian comedian Bob Downe. And its a great book; read it. I still have to read 'Bonfire of the Vanities' but this guy is a great author. Sweet dreams. |

|
Bonfire of the Vanities is an excellent read, Jonesy. I recommend you pick it up today |
||||||||
|

My g/f has a copy that I still haven't picked up yet. There is SO much good stuff to read and not enough time. She has the Kool Aid Acid Test or whatever its called also. U read dat? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I have that too -- I love all that 60s Acid stuff :) It's good to cross-reference bits of that book with "Hell's Angels" by Hunter S Thompson :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never read Hunter S as I always get put off things with cult status. |

about death: well i didn't exist for an eternity up until my birth, and it didn't do me any harm. besides, millions of people have died and none of THEM have complained, have they? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Why? His books are very good.... |
