do no more than need be done to be and let be
want nothing and be well

only in the mind is there an entity or identity other than the whole*
beyond the mind, nothing depends on nothing, nothing does not change
nothing is an entity apart from the whole
no one is an entity apart from the whole
entities and their identities are mind-made

Montaigne on the art of living and the folly of fearing death https://t.co/TIpmFpA1lH pic.twitter.com/t0yJoa0tds

Where death waits for us is uncertain; let us look for him everywhere. The premeditation of death is the premeditation of liberty; he who has learned to die has unlearned to serve. There is nothing evil in life for him who rightly comprehends that the privation of life is no evil: to know, how to die delivers us from all subjection and constraint. —Michel de Montaigne

To be or not to be is not the question. There is only being. There is only what is, all of it, the whole.
The countless forms that being takes come into existence, exist for a while, and then no longer exist.
That is one view.
In another view, that anything exists as an entity apart from the whole – even for a moment – is in the mind.
In this view, nothing depends on nothing; nothing does not change; nothing exists apart from the interdependent web of all existence.
That there is any independent being that comes into existence, exists for a while, and then no longer exists is an illusion.
- all being is nothing but change
- no being is independent of any being

“There are very serious sins – mortal sins – certainly: murder, for example. We can talk about the invasion of Iraq being mass murder. A sin like that, unrepented, would mean that you are effectively in hell. Obviously lying about something as important as the reasons to go to war, for example, would be a massive offence against truth.”Is Tony Blair Going to Hell?

Is… is it over?
The constant news? No, it's very much continuing, but there's now some certainty. We've a new prime minister and Britain's negotiations to leave the EU are top of her agenda.
Yeah, I heard about this. 'Brexit means Brexit', right?
Right, except that that doesn't really mean anything. Leaving the EU is one thing, the actual deal you get is quite another. And Theresa May is about to try and solve arguably the most dangerous puzzle in international relations.
