In the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A.E. Housman, the author talks about an athlete who dies at the height of his popularity and success. Most people find this situation sad, as the man was very young and most likely had much to live for still. However, the author argues that such a death does not necessarily need to be tragic. He tells us that the fact that the athlete died young means that he will forever be remembered as a success, and as the best version of himself.

This relates to the quote, as the quote also states that a death is only meaningful if a person is forgotten. However, as long as a person is remembered, the person is immortal. This means that the death is meaningless, and that glory can save a person from death.

How does Confucius understand the role of the supernatural—gods, spirits, and ancestors, for example?
ss7ja [257]
Confucian philosophy did not really focus at all on the supernatural. Instead, Confucius stated that we should focus on the things that are before us right now, in the material world, and that the supernatural cannot be proved and is beyond our understanding. However, he also never spoke negatively of a belief in gods or spirits and cited the importance of taking part in traditions if this grounded us further in human existence.
