After reading several times of an article, i really like to share to people.
It teaches me much about life, especially how to overcome the fear of death.
"to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, unitil bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life."
it is true that you will be impersonal if you can merge your life in to the so-called universal life, however, how many of us can actually get rid of selfishness or egotism.
I really like the way this article depicts individual life
"An individual human existence should be like a river -- small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past blouders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the water flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being."
Probably, when you can see life this way, you will no longer suffer from the fear of death, " since the things he cares for will continue."
hope you all like this.
