Learning How To Die

The more I move forward, the closer I get to the end.

My goals get fewer as I achieve them.

And as I thought, I was working hard so that I can live---

I was working hard so that I could die.

The more I learn about life, the more I recognize death.

The more I have, the fewer things I wish to have.

The more I gain, the less I need to earn.

Knowing how to live is learning how to die.
