"<p>Sometimes you feel like you're going to die the next moment. You don't necessarily need to call a doctor. Learn not to be afraid and not to hope. Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a mortal, no, death is not "bad" at all: death is nothing. Let us die, if we have to, in a humane way, that is, with dignity and without haste and without fuss.</p> <p>But let us also live, as long as we can, in a human way, that is to say, attentively, seeking the meaning of phenomena and events, examining their true nature. What can you say to a doctor when you call him at a dangerous moment and he asks you the reason for your illness? Your mind works, so you should know everything that concerns your body. And when you look at yourself in this way, you are suddenly struck by how complicated reality is: every human thing has an infinite number of causes, every aspect that connects us to the universe is the cause of something that will happen at some point in our lives or in our organism, and the main "cause" is myself, the fact of existence. This is the "cause" behind all the phenomena of life. This "cause" can be arbitrarily eliminated, but it cannot be completely dismantled, explained or understood.</p>"
