Da Morte (5)
As afirmações, a seguir transcritas, do monge católico americano Thomas Merton sobre a morte, parecem-me plenas de sentido e sabedoria mesmo para agnósticos, como eu.
"Death is the point at which life, by freely and totally giving itself, enters into this ground and this infinite act of love. Death is the point at which life can, if we so choose, became perfectly real (...) Death is, then, the point at which life can attain its pure fulfillment. Death brings life to its goal. But the goal is not death - the goal is perfect life."
Thomas Merton, "Seven Words," in Love and Living, (London, Sheldon Press, 1979), pp.104-105
