When you are at a parting of the ways, do not hesitate to choose the
way to death.  No special reason for this, except that your mind is
thus made up and ready to see to the business.   We all prefer life
to death and our planning and reasoning will be naturally to life ...
therefore every morning and every evening, have the idea of death
vividly impressed in your mind.  When your determination to die at
any moment is thoroughly established your life will be faultless
and your duties fully discharged.
