Quote by Bernard Berenson

A complete life may be one ending in so full identification with the non-self that there is no self to die.

A complete life may be one ending in so full identification

Summary

This quote suggests that a fulfilling life can be achieved by fully detaching oneself from their ego and merging with the greater reality outside of oneself. By letting go of the concept of self and transcending personal desires and attachments, one can attain a state where the idea of death becomes insignificant. In this state of complete identification with the non-self, the notion of a separate and finite identity dissolves, leading to a sense of spiritual liberation and eternal existence beyond the physical realm.

And if the imam and the Muslim leadership in that community is so intent on building bridges, then they should voluntarily move the mosque away from ground zero and move it whether it's uptown or somewhere else, but move it away from that area, the same as the pope directed the Carmelite nuns to move a convent away from Auschwitz.
