Invictus
The poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley is a poem of self determination, courage and leadership: ie I am the captain of my soul, master of my fate, my unconquerable soul.
But when our time comes, we cant continue saying we are the captain of our bodies. Even at the time of our sickness, we are the mercy of doctors and other health care workers, and even more so when we die. We are at the mercy and manipulation of mortuaries, embalmers and what have you.
How can can you continue and be assured that we will determine the way to go on a the last journey.
You are right BY INVESTING IN A LIFE PLAN NOW
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
