Death

Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible cost; the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all, all the time.

As a warrior in life, you must turn this dynamic around:make the thought of death not to escape but to embrace. Your days are numbered. Will you pass them half awake & half hearted or will you live with a sense of urgency?
Feeling death at your heels will make all your actions more certain, more forceful. This could be your last throw of the dice; make it count.
