Death is abandoning your own soul
Death is abandoning your own soul.
What Scott says
Death is abandoning your own soul. That's death. Existential emotions are different than human emotions. It's a different category.
The humanness locks it away. So you access the existential fear or dread when you get when it's time, but it's the humanness. That's what you find is like the memories, they weren't even like, I mean, some of them were bad, but they weren't even necessarily my worst ones. They weren't that bad.
I mean, some were bad, but some were like breaking my wrist. I was like, okay, breaking my wrist wasn't that bad. I almost got bit by a rattlesnake in Costa Rica on my face. So that was like scary.
So that was there. And, you know, things that were like, I think one time when I was surfing, I got held under so long that I thought I would die. That was there. You know, there were certain ones, you know, but they weren't necessarily the worst, but they were the ones that were just like my mind had decided.
It was like, this one is close to death, or this one's kind of like death. Or, you know, and so, but it wasn't really death. It wasn't at all like death. You know, afterwards, you find you're like, oh no, that's not what death is.
You know, death is not being true to yourself. You know, death is abandoning your own soul. That's death.
