In a service-to-self paradigm death is a hideous problem, since it represents the end of the funfair ride. If it's purely service-to-others you have a problem, as you likely didn't enjoy the ride, and probably feel resentful for having been made to stay on it so long. In a service-to-all paradigm, it's not a problem; when the ride ends, you get off, as it is someone else's turn.

Having had the pleasure to join the fight for humanity in the last few years, I feel at peace as a result. If my time comes, it is because I am no longer needed in the fight. I just don't have an issue with that. It was a great ride, and I am glad for whatever I got to experience and learn.

selfish comment here, but i hope this isnt foreshadowing of your time being up. have enjoyed reading your posts, thoughts and insight for the past handful of years. if it is however, it is understood and i wanna give thanks to you for all you have done. Godspeed Martin however this life may play out for you in the future… 🙏
