When I die, only one
of two things can happen: either this essence which I understand as myself will
transform into a different being, or I will stop being a separate individual
and become a part of God. Either possibility is good.
Death is the
destruction of this body with which I understand the world in this life. It is
the destruction of the glass through which I look at the world. And we do not
know whether this glass will be replaced by another; or whether the essence
which looks through the window will integrate with the world. We cannot know
this.
There is a certain limit to the appropriate length of any
time in this world. Just as the fruits and vegetables are limited by the
seasons of the year, everything should have its beginning, its life, and its ending,
after which it should pass away. Wise people willingly submit to this order.
— MARCUS TULLIUS CISCERO
All that I know about God brings me to the following
conclusion: all that He did for us were the best things possible.
— After RALPH WALDO EMERSON
You should live your
life so that you are not afraid of death, and at the same time do not wish to
die.
