>When she first died, I certainly mourned just like everyone else!
>However, I then thought back to her birth and to the very roots of her being, before she was born. Indeed, not just before she was born but before the time when her body was created. Not just before her body was created but before the origin of life's breath.
>Her life's breath wrought a transformation and she had a body. Her body wrought a transformation and she was born. Now there is yet another transformation and she is dead. She is like the four seasons in the way that spring, summer, autumn and winter follow each other.
>She is now at peace, lying in her chamber, but if I were to sob and cry it would certainly appear that I could not comprehend the ways of destiny.
>This is why I stopped.

You must be joking? That book is very corruptive, evil, and life-denying. Get a family and eat well for fucks sake, stop trying to be some superman that transcends normal patterns of behavior, it'll just lead to misery
