Dolly Parton, who rose from humble beginnings to the greatest heights of American music and became one of the country’s most philanthropic, unifying and beloved stars, has died. She was 80.
Death is defeat for people like Trump who I’m sure would suck the world dry for another hour of life if they could. I take comfort in mortality as a limiting factor in those cases too.
They are unloved so they desperately cling to their miserable lives, hoping against hope to experience it. We who know love know what it means to let go.
Death is not defeat. We’re all going to die. The Sun will die, the atoms will die, the laws of physics as we know them will literally disintegrate.
Let’s focus on the time we have when we are alive, and make the most of that, without trying to evade death.
Well put and comforting to reflect on. Thank you.
