Two things that are both true:
One does not die so easily.
But just like that, and your life is over.
* * *
You live like you’re not going to die today. And yet you may just die today!
Or you should live as if you were indeed going to die today!
But if you do … you won’t have money to buy food tomorrow.
* * *
Life is nasty. Life is beautiful.
Life is cruel … and full of mercy.
Life is predictable. And the next day you’re gone.
* * *
We who are left behind must go on. Until it’s our turn.
* * *
The living discriminates against the dead.
The departed knows what the living does not.
* * *
Life is lent to us.
And what is loaned is eventually reclaimed.
(Dedicated to a friend)
