[Quotes (like farts) courtesy of Seneca]
[Annnnnnd, we’re back with death. Two more of Seneca’s letters to Lucilius slathered with thoughts of death and how it should be approached. I’m gonna skip any more thoughts of Mori from now on. So, hang in there.]
Anonymole - apocryphal agitators 
I fear neither death nor the thought of death. I fear the pain involved in the process.

Seneca has said that Death is the least painful trial a man can endure. The descent to death is another matter. But the instant of death? Bliss.

STOICISM defined – So…Randy Travis, Clint Black and Billy Ray Cyrus are on a USO tour and get captured by the insurgents. They get stood up against the wall facing the firing squad. They’re offered smokes, food, women, they all go stoic and say “no.” The leader of the firing squad says “One final time. Do you have any last requests?” Billy Ray raises his hand. “I’d like to sing Achy Breaky Heart one more time before I die.” ‘Okay.” the commamdant says. Clint and Randy are flailing their arms over their heads. The commandant asks “Okay, you two. What do you want?”
“SHOOT US FIRST! SHOOT US FIRST!”

Hi A. Mole,
I was just watching a VH-1 documentary about WZevon’s last album, the one he did right before his death. I’m including link in this comment. If you haven’t seen it, you might give it a try. Death is a big topic for all of us. Thanks. Duke
