The Denial of Death

“Tranquilize yourself with the trivial so you can live a normal life. Not worrying about the god like problems, like what is a flower or why are we here. Problems only the gods would be able to understand”

- The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker 1973

Not what Marcus Aurelius did, as his Meditations indicate.

@LamontCranston what are you talking about ? His meditations don’t indicate anything of the sort that would suggest he rushed death.

@Ryderbike I didn't say or imply any such thing. He developed an indifference to it, understood its place in life.

@LamontCranston yes good description. I misunderstood your original post.
