Do not fear death

Musashi’s 17th Principle of the Dokkodo is “Do not fear death” in the Book of 5 Rings he says, “Generally speaking, the Way of the Warrior is resolute acceptance of death.” I provide my thoughts sparked by his words on the matter of death. Death is natural and inevitable, it is neither good nor bad, what makes a death good or bad is the manner of life we lived before we die, and how we die.
