Posted by Rainer on 11/6/2006, 10:57 pm, in reply to "Re: Obscure Quote" Skirmish of an Untimely Man # 36 To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leavetaking is possible while he who is leaving IS STILL THERE, likewise an actual evaluation of what has been desired and what achieved in life, an ADDING-UP of life -- all of this in contrast to the pitiable and horrible comedy Christianity has made of the hour of death. . . . From love of LIFE one ought to desire to die differently from this: freely, consciously, not accidentally, not suddenly overtaken. --Previous Message--
