samurai death perspective

[s~Z]

>>>Just that there is no way to deal with Death. Trying to embrace it--other
than with some pie in the sky (or on earth) spiritual approach--can only
be accomplished at the expense of life--the only life we have.<<<

The Way of the Samurai is found in death. If by setting one's heart right
every morning and evening, one is able to live as though his body were
already dead, he gains freedom in the Way. His whole life will be without
blame, and he will succeed in his calling.
