Death benefits

We are renewed (made new again) through death. This is as true for civilizations as it is for individuals. Reform, modification, more exercise, a better diet, good intentions and cosmetic procedures cannot make us new again. Were it not for death, we’d be zombies sleepwalking through an endless senility.   

The face in the mirror

It is not possible to change another person. Neither is it necessary. We make this discovery when we change ourselves.

Beware of the reformers, of the men who polish the mirror. You and me, let us change what appears in the mirror. Let us change our face.
