Accepting death is the path to freedom
Discussion
Inevitable
if you truly understand that, this moment becomes truly vivid
Awesome thought, connecting freedom to death in this way:
"It is appointed for man to die once, and then the judgement....."
"He who the Son sets free is free indeed..."
For believers, death is the beginning for an eternity with Christā¦ā¦.
For non-believers, it is a dark day of judgementā¦ā¦.
Pride prevents many from humbling themselves before the Crossā¦ā¦.
Ultimately, all are humbled and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lordā¦ā¦..
We #Bitcoinerās say āstay humble and stack satsā.
Humbling ourselves before the Cross, is much more importantā¦ā¦..
Think Pompeii, and people clutching their valuables at the time of their deathā¦ā¦.
What a sad sightā¦ā¦ā¦.
We donāt take anything with usā¦ā¦ā¦

One of the best scenes in Band of Brothers.
In Band of Brothers, Captain Ronald Speirs took over command of Easy Company from First Lieutenant Norman Dike during the assault on Foy in Episode 7, "The Breaking Point." Dike hesitated and failed to lead effectively under fire, prompting then-Battalion XO Captain Winters to send Speirs to take over. Speirs immediately took decisive action, leading a bold charge through enemy lines, which helped turn the tide of the battle.
āYou have to know, not fear, that someday you are going to die.
Until you know that and embrace that, you are useless.ā

Chapter 3: āThe Family of Imranā
Verse 185
Imran is Maryās Father, Jesusā Grandfather. Although not mentioned in the Holy Bible, the Christian Tradition typically refers to him as Joachim.
a deeper look perhaps?

The letter J did not exist in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or Arabic during Jesusā time. The sound we associate with āJā today evolved much later in European languages. Hereās how this applies to names like Jesus, Joachim, and John:
1. Jesusā Original Name
ā¢ In Hebrew/Aramaic: Yeshua (×ֵש××Ö¼×¢Ö·)
ā¢ In Greek: IÄsous (į¼øĪ·ĻĪæįæ¦Ļ)
ā¢ In Latin: Iesus
ā¢ Modern English: Jesus (The āJā sound developed in English around the 16th century)
2. Joachimās Name (Maryās Father in Christian Tradition)
ā¢ In Hebrew: Likely Yehoyaqim (×Ö°××Ö¹×Öøק֓××)
ā¢ In Greek: Ioakeim (į¼øĻĪ±ĪŗĪµĪÆĪ¼)
ā¢ In Latin: Joachim
ā¢ Modern English: Joachim (with the āJā sound added later)
3. John the Baptistās Name
ā¢ In Hebrew: Yochanan (××Ö¹×Öø× Öø×)
ā¢ In Greek: Ioannes (į¼øĻĪ¬Ī½Ī½Ī·Ļ)
ā¢ In Latin: Iohannes
ā¢ Modern English: John
Today restoring an old house, bare bones, no floor just joists, a contractor slipped off the joist and fell 4-5ft landing straight on his back. He was very lucky he didnāt hit his head on the way down, so many wood beams, bricks at the bottom, nails sticking out, he didnāt get a scratch. Sore shoulder and ego, but he could have easily diedā¦
It made me think of people that are in serious accidents donāt remember what happened. That made me think that any one of us could have already died and we didnāt even know. Since the universe and time are likely eternal, thatās a lot of time for your conscious energy to figure out a story or life that makes it comfortable, that is familiar, maybe the life you are living now? How many times have we died?

Bingo. Mission above all else. Fear of death is fear of life.

Camus can one-shot impressionable twenty somethingās into nihilism. Perhaps best to put the existentialism on hold until after creating a family.
I agree also understanding it is important.
