The cult of the individual is killing us. I think Twitter signals the death of western civilisation but people have been saying that since Demosthenes.

On the basis of biological sociological and historical knowledge we should recognize that the individual self is subject to death or decay but the sum total of individual achievement for better or worse lives on in the immortality of The Larger.

A number of cases have been reported in which a dying individual has a vision of a person about whose death he or she did not know.

Dying before dying has two important consequences: It liberates the individual from the fear of death and influences the actual experience of dying at the time of biological demise.

Individuals approaching death often experience encounters with their dead relatives who seem to welcome them to the next world. These deathbed visions are authentic and convincing they are often followed by a state of euphoria and seem to ease the transition.

The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world.

Death's an old joke but each individual encounters it anew.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation from dating to trial by jury.

My dad has been a big influence on me because he's always had his own business. He really taught me business sense and how to be a focused individual but also how to have fun and make everyone around you have fun.
