More From Steve Jobs

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?

I yearn for the darkness. i pray for death. real death. if i thought that in death i would meet the people i've known in life i don't know what i'd do. that would be the ultimate horror. the ultimate despair. if i had to meet my mother again and start all of that all over, only this time without the prospect of death to look forward to? well. that would be the final nightmare. kafka on wheels.

By 'coming to terms with life' i mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. it sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.
Mean Eye Reality
Misunderstanding may arise by confusing the buddhist and scientific definitions of death. within the scientific system you spoke quite validly of the death of the brain and the death of heart. different parts of the body can die separately. however, in the buddhist system, the word death is not used in that way. you'd never speak of the death of a particular part of the body, but rather of the death of an entire person. when people say that a certain person died, we don't ask, "well, which part died?"
Buddhist Heart People
Without culture there can be no growth; without exertion, no acquisition; without friction, no polish; without labor, no knowledge; without action, no progress; and without conflict, no victory. the man who lies down a fool at night, hoping that he will waken wise in the morning, will rise up in the morning as he laid down in the evening.

The god of dirt came up to me many times and said so many wise and delectable things, i lay on the grass listening to his dog voice, frog voice; now, he said, and now, and never once mentioned forever from, one or two things

Praise has different effects, according to the mind it meets with; it makes a wise man modest, but a fool more arrogant, turning his weak brain giddy.
