memento mori

 

true hope is born

from lack of hope.

but hope

is also

the mother

of fear.

 

fear is rooted in knowledge

that death is certain

for whatever is born.

 

so, abandon all hope and fear

my friends, all who entered here!

both are just illusion.

 

accept the inevitable

embrace it

with all your heart.

 

and thus,

hoping for nothing

and fearing nothing -

die this moment. here. right now.

 

remember:

birth follows death follows birth follows death

in endless succession;

but the truth,

your real self

unborn and boundless

lives

pristine and undisturbed

forever!

 

so die - and just

be.
