god please flux my mind for good

The ancients knew how to die. Contempt for death was born with them. But their contempt came from knowledge. Their ideal was to rise spiritually above death. For us, death is a painful and frightening surprise. Hence our terror and its drama. No ancient was ever surprised by death, and thus could afford to smile at its approach, a fact that astonishes us. They were so persuaded by death’s inevitability that they invented an elaborate art of dying. Though we may know this art, it cannot help us.
