IN ORDER TO LIVE, DEATH MUST DIE. THEN LIFE TRULY BECOMES LIFE. When you go through your entire life anticipating the point of extinction is inevitable it corrupts every aspect of your life. Death is a portal through which we must all pass, and if considered in the proper place in our life will empower us instead of crippling us. Death will be to each of as whatever we choose to define it as. As such it will effect each of us within the paradigm we choose to place it. Therefore the one who conquered death would be the most wise teacher from which to gain wisdom. NO STING is the revelation of perspective. A perspective that doesn't eliminate the temporal perspective in favor of the eternal, but seeks to find the space of integration of the two. It seems to be the only wise perspective. All of us have been born into this life, and all of us will surely die. How will you choose to navigate the space in between? The sands of time stop for no one. Make each grain of sand a precious pearl before it is gone. Starting with the very next one.
