Death is the certain test, the only test

What is one’s life without a prosperous destiny? The cerebral state of stagnation kills the body and soul. What must we do to combat such a plague? Moreover, how do we suppress temptations of sloth and mammon? And what is destiny? For this prosperity I write about is that which is a goal kept unto death, the final test, all culture has an aim of collectively striving towards this goal. Our beliefs and values finally come true if they prevail unto death, one can preach and proclaim external with indefatigable wisdom, but can renounce all means when coughing a song of cowardice. 

Is death cowardly? Most means, in fact, almost all people today will never face a death worth writing about. This is the stagnation of today, nothing is worth dying for. Our values and systems are no longer tested. Therefore, one cannot properly analyze the integrity of an individuals proclamations and paradigms. 

Our understandings and evidence of systems can only be obtained and clearly defined through the final test of death, this is where our heart shines or molds. Does this mean I am advising one to force a death? Absolutely not, for that is just as terrible as a death which lacks all of what I described to be « the way ». 

No, we must understand that this test I write about comes like a cloud, like a fog. We cannot command nor demand its arrival, but we can anticipate it, and prepare for the fate in which defines us, as the people we set out to be, or cowards who hid all of their destiny away, because of fear, or a lack of faith.
