Dice and Cards of the Day - Sun. August 17, 2025

Roll the dice, let the cards fall,
Into the hands of fate, we all stand,
With hope and faith as our guide.
Every moment is a chance,
To learn and grow in our quest,
To become better, to become best.


Arthur Shoepenhaur, On The Indestruction of One Essential Being By Death - “Whatever you will be after your death - even though it were nothing - will then be just as natural and suitable to you as your individual organic existence is now - thus the most you have to fear is the moment of transition. Indeed, since mature consideration of the matter leads to the conclusion that total non-being would be peer able to such an existence as ours is, the idea of the cessation of our existence, or of a time in which we no longer are, can from a rational point of view trouble us as little as the idea that we had never been. Now since this existence is essentially a personal one, the ending of the personality cannot be regarded as a loss.”

Brian Wilson - “Hold on to Your Ego” (Beach Boys, Pet Sounds)
