What day will you die?

When ever I feel like it! No one ever knows their death date until it arrives.(Additional Supplemental Material:)It is generally a bad idea to speculate about your own death, although it is fairly common throughout history. Some people use a Ouija board, the intestines of animals, burned sheep shoulder bones, tortoise shells, or the movements of birds. No one is ever happy to learn when they are going to die, and many people try unsuccessfully to stop it.Knowing about your death in advance and trying to stop it is sometimes called having "an appointment in Samarra". The expression (which is also the title of a play by John O'Hara') comes from an old story about a merchant of Baghdad, related here by W. Somerset Maugham:A merchant in Baghdad sends his servant to the marketplace for provisions. Shortly, the servant comes home white and trembling and tells him that in the marketplace he was jostled by a woman, who he recognized as Death, and she made a threatening gesture. Borrowing the merchant's horse, he flees at top speed to Samarra, a distance of about 75 miles, where he believes Death will not find him. The merchant then goes to the marketplace and finds Death, and asks why she made the threatening gesture. She replies, "That was not a threatening gesture, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra."Mythology and religion is rich with stories of predicted deaths:Laius, King of Thebes, was not told the day he would day, but was told that he would be killed by his son (who would then marry his mother, Laius' wife Jocasta). Laius sent the baby far away so that couldn't happen. Predictably, he was killed by a stranger he met on the road years later who turned out to be his son.The Norse God Odin is famous for having known the day he would die. He sacrificed himself to himself by hanging from a tree to learn the secrets of the universe, but instead he learned exactly when and how he would die.The Buddha also sacrificed himself to himself under a tree, but he did it just by sitting there. He learned that no one ever dies but is born over and over.Adam and Eve also gained great knowledge under a tree, but in doing this they sacrificed all of their future children.One of their children, much later, knew what day he would die but went ahead and let it happen anyway because he knew he would come back to life forever. He was sacrificed to his Father by hanging from a dead tree and he promised that no one would ever have to die again.In conclusion, no one should know when they die but should instead live as if each day were their last. Although only in the sense of being vigorous and determined, not in the sense of looting liquor store and denouncing your boss.

What are echoes and what causes them?

Echo, also known as Ronin, is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superheroine and a supporting character of Daredevil. She makes her first appearance in DaredevilVol. 2, #9 (Dec. 1999), and was created by David Mack and Joe Quesada. She is a Hispanic Native American and one of the very few deaf comic characters.When she dons her "Echo" guise, she is easily recognizable by a white hand stain which covers most of her face.The identity of Ronin was an attempt by New Avengerswriter Brian Michael Bendis to create a mystery after the apparently-male character was depicted on several comic book covers, including issues of New Avengers, and one Pulse issue. Fan speculation was high, with the most common guess that Ronin was Daredevil (despite Bendis initially denying that this was the case, he eventually revealed this to be the original intention).[1] However, Avengers: The Ultimate Guide, a DK Press book, revealed Ronin to be Echo weeks before the slightly delayed release of New Avengers #13, where Ronin's true identity was belatedly revealed.While still a young girl, Maya Lopez's father (known as Willie "Crazy Horse" Lincoln), was killed by the Kingpin. As Crazy Horse dies, he leaves a bloody handprint on Maya's face. His last dying wish is that his partner in crime, the Kingpin, raise Maya well: a wish the Kingpin honors, caring for her as his own.Believed to be mentally disabled, Maya is sent to an expensive school for people with learning disabilities. There, she manages to completely replicate a song on the piano. She is subsequently sent to another expensive school for prodigies. She would soon become a gifted woman.One day, upon visiting her father's grave with Fisk, Maya asks how he died. Fisk tells her that Daredevil killed him.Maya is sent by the Kingpin to Matt Murdock to prove Matt's weakness. He tells her that Matt believes he is a bad person, and that she is the only way to prove him wrong. As Maya believes him, it would not appear to be a lie when she tells Matt.[volume & issue needed]Matt Murdock and Maya soon fall in love. She later takes on the guise of Echo to hunt down Daredevil. On her face she paints a white handprint, similar to the bloody handprint left by her dying father. Having watched videos of Bullseye and Daredevil fighting, she proves more than a match for Daredevil. After several failed attempts, noticing that Daredevil can easily move through the dark, Maya easily figures out Daredevil's weakness, and exploits this by having him fight in a place where his heightened senses are useless. Maya easily takes him down and nearly kills him, refusing only when she finds out Matt and Daredevil are one and the same. Matt manages to correct the Kingpin's lies. In revenge, Maya confronts Fisk and shoots him in the face, blinding him and starting the chain of events that lead to his eventual downfall (Kingpin would later partially recover his eyesight through reconstructive eye surgery).[volume & issue needed]After realizing the horror of her actions and the lies she has grown up with, Maya flees the United States to do some soul-searching. When she comes back, she tries reuniting with Matt Murdock, only to find out he is now with a blind woman named Milla Donovan, and that the Kingpin is still alive (despite Maya's attempts to kill him). Leaving Matt, Maya visits the Kingpin in prison, who tells her that he doesn't blame her for what she did, and that despite all that had happened, he still loves her like a daughter.[volume & issue needed]Unsatisfied and still needing peace, Maya turns to the Chief, her father's old friend, noted for his wisdom. The Chief sends Maya on a Vision quest to calm her soul. On her quest, she meets and befriends Wolverine who helps her recover and passes on his knowledge of Japanese culture and Japanese organized crime. Soon enough, Echo makes peace with her past and is back doing performance art.[
