“Live and let live”

I just retired from the US Army having served for 36 years. I spent the vast majority of my life in harm's way, due to my chosen profession.
This quote was shared with me, early on in my career, and I carried it with me always, on every deployment, on every mission, and rings true to me today.
“So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a stranger if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Touch not the poisonous firewater that makes wise ones turn to fools and robs them of their visions. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.” ~ Chief Tecumseh
I never feared death. Yet, now I treasure life.
I never cared about religion, or politics for that matter.
I lived by the Warrior's Code, and protected my honor and integrity at all costs.
I remained thankful for everything, confident always, cocky, never.
I never gave into drink, tobacco, or mischief, but worked hard, played harder.
Always thought I would fall in battle, and be carried to Valhǫll on the wings of a Valkyrie, yet that never came.
Now, as I grow older, living fast is not my way. Yet, when it is my time, I will sing my death song like a hero going home.

Good ole' Dirty Harry. One of my all time favorites. Clint is awesome. Just watched his most recent movie (The Mule). He's still got it!
