Should haves lead to death
We do not accept that ours will ever be a nation of haves and have-nots. We must always be a nation of haves and soon-to-haves.
And that is that we have never been: a nation of haves and have-nots. We are a nation of haves and soon-to-haves, of people who have made it and people who will make it. And that's who we need to remain.
Today, there are three kinds of people: the haves, the have-nots, and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-haves.
The history of prevailing status quos shows decay and decadence infecting the opulent materialism of the Haves. The spiritual life of the Haves is a ritualistic justification of their possessions.
Habit-forming products often start as nice-to-haves, but once the habit is formed, they become must-haves.
How some dare scorn (as if a fabulous lie) that they should rise whom death to dust doth bind -- and like to beasts, a beastly life they lead, who naught attend save death when they are dead.
Another current catch-phrase is the complaint that the nations of the world are divided into 'haves' and the 'have-nots.' Observe that the 'haves' are those who have freedom, and that it is freedom that the 'have-nots' have not.
Should those whose actions lead to the death or injury of a child get a free pass?
Might have, could have, may have, should have—the haves and have nots reduced to pointless possibilities.
If the Numerai fund performs well, that should lead to more assets under management, which should lead to more revenue for Numerai's general partner, which should lead to higher payouts for the data scientists, which implies a higher Numeraire valuation.
Should-haves solve nothing. It's the next thing to happen that needs thinking about.
Richness in the world is a result of other people's poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots.
If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid.
Somebody who should have been born is gone. Yes, woman, such logic will lead to loss without death. Or say what you meant, you coward . . . this baby that I bleed.
Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth; Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace; Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe
Instead of being afraid of death, we should try to awake to life; and the only death we should escape from is to forget the presence of God into us.
