A MEDITATION

“ Practice death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom.

— Seneca

Rehearsing death isn't morbid — it's the only way to rehearse real freedom. Once the worst thing loses its grip, nothing in between can really threaten you. The person who's made peace with the ending can't be bullied by the middle.
