this is the most poignant thing I've
00:00:01
ever said and it just popped into my
00:00:03
head and it is when the fear of death is
00:00:06
gone all it remains is the joy of living
00:00:09
people see in the end of this I did a
00:00:11
Tadashi ceremony which is a Japanese
00:00:14
departure or death ceremony and that
00:00:16
took away my fear of death I think
00:00:18
everyone needs to face death in the
00:00:21
Western World we don't we're scared of
00:00:22
it we hide from it it's going to happen
00:00:24
to all of us it also is a great way of
00:00:27
crystallizing how awesome today is and
00:00:29
that thing of realizing that we're all
00:00:32
going to die with a to-do list so don't
00:00:34
freak out too much about all the minutti
00:00:37
[ __ ] you've got to do just enjoy the day
00:00:39
and I think when the fear of death is
00:00:41
gone all it remains is the joy of living
00:00:43
if people were to take away anything
00:00:45
from the doo I'd want you to take away
00:00:47
that
