Crazy Horse, legendary Sioux leader and his famous battlefield phrase: "Hoka hey, today is a good day to die!". Only fulfilled person can feel like joyfully dying at the moment as nothing is missing, life is kept complete every day. Nothing is postponed. I believe it is the only real wealth we can own: to live our lives leaving nothing missing. I think we usually don't fear death of body, neither pain. Only the life we haven't lived. The end comes but the life has not happened yet. People who lived their lives seem to worry little if at all when their life is threatened.
Actually the phrase became so popular that people started thinking that "Hoka hey" means "today is a good day to die". But it means "let's do it!" or "let's move on!" he used to add before the dying phrase. Still it is quality of brave people of great inner wealth, to be able to jump, to make the step, to take the risk and especially when it touches the death..... Not to talk, not to think, but "just do it". This mysterious "doing it" is usually the step towards the unknown and consist mainly ofleaving behind the old part of our self. It is sort of death indeed. It requires a touch of a mad man and an existential explorer/gambler courage.
