Philosophy then Death

No matter what your philosophy is, death still comes to us all.  We spend so much of our time conjecturing and discussing and thinking about our lives, but they still all course toward an inevitability.

“that is the sound of inevitability”

This is not to say that our philosophy of life doesn’t have an effect on the quality of our lives, or even the timing or manner of our death.  But the point is, that we wonder and think and conjecture, perhaps never really knowing, and we keep doing this for our whole lives, even changing our philosophy through life.  But then, we die.

We should live knowing that we die.  Contemplating our mortality gives clarity to our every moment.  It can give a sense of value to each moment, this being the only life we have.

No matter what philosophy you live by, live each moment knowing the limits your life has.

Philosophy, then death
