Being Happy Is Knowing How To Be

Whatsoever Causes No Annoyance When It Is Present, Causes Only A Groundless Pain In The Expectation. Death, Therefore, The Most Awful Of Evils, Is Nothing To Us, Seeing That, When We Are, Death Is Not Come, And, When Death Is Come, We Are Not. It Is Nothing, Then, Either To The Living Or To The Dead, For With The Living It Is Not And The Dead Exist No Longer.

So Death, The Most Terrifying Of Ills, Is Nothing To Us, Since So Long As We Exist, Death Is Not With Us; But When Death Comes, Then We Do Not Exist. It Does Not Then Concern Either The Living Or The Dead, Since For The Former It Is Not, And The Latter Are No More.

A World Is A Circumscribed Portion Of Sky... It Is A Piece Cut Off From The Infinite.

Death Is Meaningless To The Living Because They Are Living, And Meaningless To The Dead… Because They Are Dead.

If Thou Wilt Make A Man Happy, Add Not Unto His Riches But Take Away From His Desires.
