# Do Not Fear Death

> But if you shut your soul up in the body and abase it and say,
> 'I understand nothing, I can do nothing; I fear the sea, I cannot
> go up to heaven; I do not know what I was, I do not know what I
> will be,' then what have you to do with god? While you are evil
> and a lover of the body, you can understand none of the things
> that are beautiful and good.

This quote again. I really like this.



What really limits men is their fear of death. It is the biggest
fear for most. Considering that each fear leads to it in the end.

But you will die anyway. Regardless of whether you reincarnate or
go to the afterlife. Your current life will end.

A hero does not fear death. That's what makes a hero heroic. Achilles
fought for Patroclus. Even though he knew the fate that he will
die if he does. Become a hero.



It's okay to die. So do what you want/ought to do. Do not be limited
by your mortal body.
