I was listening to OPB today, and one statement jumped out at me. It was a discussion on death and dying, and that wonderful/horrible place in life when one knows he or she is dying. How it is a blessed time, because of all the normal day-to-day frustrations no longer mattering, but also just hard, as one knows life is coming to an end. Decisions have to be made that are permanent, and a certain acceptance is inherent in a good death. The statement that jumped out at me was "Death does not cause suffering; resistance to death causes suffering."
