Something I think about when I'm out riding my bike. Run me over. It's better than cancer.
Copy that.
Not only is it cheaper but probably better with all things considered to just die, like the old man in the cabin. Another way of thinking, that is the ultimate inheritance tax.
If we're going to make comparisons I'd rather drown than that kind of violence. Now, the epicenter of an atomic bomb, that has it's attraction.
I want something that wildly distracts my central nervous system. My biggest fear of being on a ship was being trapped alive below decks while we sank. The first time we got underway I heard over the PA system "Now all hands stand by for collision aft". We were breaking ice and got jammed up and a freighter following close behind nearly ran us over. I got my ass "topside" so I could at least jump off onto the ice.
Years ago I had a girlfriend tell me that the only time we do not have death underpinning our thoughts, consciousness, is during an orgasm or spontaneous, uncontrolled, laughter. At the time she was a student, now multiple degrees, the piled higher and deeper kind. Not her, but makes me wonder about serious types who seem to lack spontaneous humor and joy in their life. Many seem obsessed with death without realizing it.
I'd be with you.
Woody Allen movies being an exception ...
I have walked up to a drive through ATM to get cash. A blind person might, too. Also, the plates that have the braille & visible alpha characters on them are made with the intent to use them in all ATM locations. It's cheaper than manufacturing two different plates, one with and one without braille. Just my guess.
Medical science has progressed to the point where they can keep you alive until you run out of money.
I went looking for something...having found nothing I began to understand...
If I'm doing nothing do I exist?
...notwithstanding the occasional bout of utter despair vis a vis my ever fluctuating faith in humanity...nunc cognosco ex parte...
