Death - from Hagakure a samurai quote book from 1600 something

[Mornings Son]

Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one’s body and mind are at peace, 
one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, 
being carried away by surging waves,
 being thrown into the midst of a great fire, 
being struck by lightning, 
being shaken to death by a great earthquake, 
falling from thousand-foot cliffs, 
dying of disease 
or committing seppuku at the death of one’s master. 

And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead.

[Absyllyon]

That is some good solid advice. And with it the ego dies its thousand little deaths each day.

[Billy]

And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead.
