"The destructing of the history of ontology, the interpretation of Dasein or existence as "a certain way of Being, a certain meaning of the 'is'... a 'how' of Being" special emphasis on the historical character of this Being with attention to its factual rootedness in the everyday and its "manifold relations" with people and things."
-Martin Heidegger, excerpt "Basic Writings"
i once asked, in an internet video on the March for Our Lives protest in downtown Raleigh I covered for my SuperPAC DDU, why do you feel people shouldn't die?
I was surprised that the answer was rather common sensesque, and I realized how it was essentially true...
"We all Die."
was her response...
Well, do we all die?
There's a sense in which, theologically, we don't ever die if there is an afterlife, so eternal recurrence seems to be a good route for understanding the idea of a quasi-proto fountain-of-youth eternal recurrence through our Soul going on, or passing on, upon our eventual death...
but Christ can stop Death...
Yet we don't ever die if we are in heaven,
but we do die, in some deterministic sense physicalistically, in a quite concrete way...
I mean how much care is given to people living near the end of their lives...
Death, in a mass sense, is very palpably real- but we know the heroes who passed on like Officer Raynor and Officer Hayworth etc. and other fallen free world police that they live forever,
because heroes live forever...
