Death Is Not A Problem To Fix
Death is not a problem to fix,
Nor a puzzle to solve.
Death is not
what you think
death is.
Death is not the end
of you,
unless you think
you are just your body.
Death marks the end
of your mind,
if the mind is merely
the activity of your brain.
Death is the end
of pain and pleasure,
as both require a body to feel
sensations and emotions.
No death, no fear.*
No death, no tears.
If you fear death,
you will fear
for your life.
You will fear life.
*”No Death, No Fear” is the title of a book
by Thich Nhat Hanh
