Sometimes I think Constant Adaptations is the Key to immortality

Which might be the opposite of  "stop the world! I want to get off!"

Because often this means physical death (but it also could just mean Psychological death instead) 

when I was 21 to 25 and to some degree 18 to 25 I thought I was going to have to physically die to get anywhere useful to me in life.

Then I learned you only need to "Die to self" not physically die.

Tibetan Lamas say: "You need to Empty your cup to fill it with something more new and useful to you!"

However, actually doing this is much harder (and also strangely easier) than one might expect.

But, many people see their personalities as solid and when you do this you don't allow for the thousands of other people you might be or know.

So, often this is why people often die young. Because they equate their present personalities as a permanent one when it is not. (usually).

So, for me, learning to die to self and to create a person I actually wanted to be during my 20s where I could actually be happy in life started with my studies of Philosophy and Psychology.

Once I started to read "Psychology Today" I realized I didn't have to self destruct. I just had to give up 90% of my programming as a human being.

This was logical to me as I was already a computer programmer of COBOL and Fortran. So, reprogramming myself into someone I actually wanted to be was both logical and beautiful once I figured out how to actually do this.
