EXERCISETermination of activity, cessation from TERMmovement and TERMopinion, and in a sense their death, is TERMno evil. Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every TERMchange was a death. Is this anything to fear? Turn thy thoughts now to thy life under thy grandfather, then to thy life under thy mother, then to thy life under thy father; and as thou findest many other differences and changes and terminations, ask thyself, Is this anything to fear? In like manner, then, neither are the termination and cessation and change of thy whole life a thing to be afraid of.

EXERCISEThe ending of activity, the pause of TERMimpulse and TERMjudgment — a kind of death; TERMno evil. Pass now to the ages of your life — childhood, boyhood, youth, old age — for in these too every TERMchange was a death. Is that anything to fear? Pass now to your life under your grandfather, then under your mother, then under your father; and as you find many other dissolutions and changes and endings, ask yourself: is that anything to fear? In the same way, then, neither is the ending and pause and change of your whole life.
