It seems simple.
If you do not fear death, you are free.
To be what you are and do what you want.
His brothers and sisters said that about Jim Laurita today.
With humor, affection, and a little bit of awe.

Haiku,(for Dr Jim)
here is what is known
you were kind here, now we know
september sorrow
Macbeth:
She should have died hereafter.
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
(--Act 5, Scene 5)Shakespeare saw it and said it well.
To know what is?
True!
“ Was das Volk verdummt, ist nicht sein Mangel an Unterweisung, sondern der Glaube an die Minderwertigkeit seiner Intelligenz. ”Everyone has equal intelligence. Each has the God-given ability to teach themselves. And yes, even someone ignorant is capable of teaching another ignorant person what longs to be learned. (I.e. We can teach what we don't know.) Everything is in everything. These four principles from Jacotot are both interesting and useful.
(— Jean Joseph Jacotot, 1770-1840)
