Is there anything for which you would give up your life?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 29, 2008:

i'm constantly striving to die to (give up?) my past in each new moment--- have found that's the only way to BE present right here, right now . . .don't see how it would be possible to "give up my life" to anyone or anything-- seems to me that  life always IS & always will BE  :-D  so who am "I" to think there is a choice ?

YES!  This is pure wisdom, pure freedom, pure love, pure delight!  Never sacrificing this for that, never holding on.  I recommend what I call “serial suicide”:  when you get bored, ungrateful with your life, or simply are ready for a change:  walk away from the corpse of all the certainties we have about ourselves and discover anew, radically.

I also like what you say “don't see how it would be possible to “give up my life” to anyone or anything” .  Yet isn't this how we are often conditioned in this culture?  Give your life to something, as if life was an object, or a sacrifice. 

Hmmm….

¡I love you!
