A Stoic Thinks About Death and Dying David Waite Yohn

In a culture obsessed with longevity and survival at any price, we need to think more clearly about the "art of dying well". We need insight on how to participate in the natural processes of ending life responsibly and with dignity. Here David Waite Yohn looks for some Stoic wisdom of how we might meet that final event with integrity. We will die. It will be the final scene in the final act of our drama of life, and it is wise that we think about playing it well -- both for ourselves and others.
