Jesus' theme (over and over again) was death to life . . . death to life . . . to life, be death!
Everyday we die to self (The "I" in me can hardly be seen anymore). As servant people, we are divided by the number of people we are directly (and indirectly) linked to. Each earthly relationship I am in, "takes away" from me (to die). In Christ, however, I am transfused with Grace (to live).
Everyday we make choices, in this death process (moving and changing in this great infinite space)
It's not about you!
It's not about me!
It's about Him in us.
In the face of light and dark . . . I choose the Light of Life!
"Love" someone today . . . and watch it come back to you!

I am not a scholar in Latin but the Latin word for danger is 'periculum' which gave 'pericoloso' in Italian, 'peril' in French and English. Another Latin word 'perire' means: to die, from 'per'/ through and 'ire'/ to go. There is no 'ex perieri'. The Latin word 'experiri' means: to try out. Also generally understood to mean: going through.
The result of experience is stored in the brain as memory which in turn conditions further experience and limits it. A danger too often ignored.
