Complete Works | Michel de Montaigne

No one dies before his time. The time you leave behind was no more yours than that which passed before your birth...wherever your life ends, it is all there. The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.

(from "That to philosophize is to learn to die", Book I, Essay 20)

...let us learn to meet [death] steadfastly and combat it...to begin to strip it of its greatest advantage against us...let us rid it of its strangeness, come to know it, get used to it...and let us never allow ourselves to be so carried away by pleasure that we do not sometimes remember in how many ways this happiness of ours is a prey to death...it is uncertain where death awaits us; let us await it everywhere.

Librarybelle This is interesting. My area is a “less than average” racism area, and yet I would have to disagree. Some of the backlash for non-white culture I have seen makes me think it‘s at least above average. When I have parents openly redacting Spanish on a library card application in Sharpie to show that the library should not cater to “non English” speakers—yeah, something is completely wrong. 6d
Leftcoastzen I disagree with the map too, certain segments of Az pretty racist!Of course I lived in CA . a long time, so maybe my view is off (edited) 6d

mcctrish Being Canadian I think I‘d need to overlay this on a map to remember what all the states are but the Midwest kind of throws me off here. I‘m basing all of this on news stories and big gun crimes not day to day interactions 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 4d

Happy the man who has regulated his needs in such just measure that his wealth can satisfy them without his care and trouble...and without it interrupting his pursuit of other occupations better suited to him...each man is as well or as badly off as he thinks he is.
