And indeed,
-
Buddhists try to free you from
-
what they take to be the illusion of there being a self.
-
There is no me to lose anything.
-
Death is terrifying insofar as
-
I worry about it being the dissolution of myself.
-
If there is no self,
-
there's nothing to dissolve.
-
It all makes sense--
-
and I have tremendous respect for Buddhism--
-
it all makes sense,
-
given the thought that life is suffering.
