Filosofar é aprender a morrer (2)

Montaigne, Essays, "That to philosophize is to learn to die":

«All the whole time you live, you purloin from life and live at the expense of life itself. The perpetual work of your life is but to lay the foundation of death. You are in death, whilst you are in life, because you still are after death, when you are no more alive; or, if you had rather have it so, you are dead after life, but dying all the while you live; and death handles the dying much more rudely than the dead, and more sensibly and essentially. If you have made your profit of life, you have had enough of it; go your way satisfied.»

Devemos ficar preocupados? Ou anda o Samuel a treinar socraticamente para ser boa pessoa?
