Philosophical bath


Hello!

And a good day to you all…

You know folks, when I was little the concept of death didn't sit well with me, I didn't understand why you were born to die.  As luck would have it, my youngest suffered from the same, just recently she told me that when she was younger she thought she was going to live forever.  Sadly I came to the the same conclusion that we don't eons ago…  And that was that the end of that...it never is

With time you forget and you move on…


But I was surprised today when my bath guys started to talk more or less about the same situation.  You see he just turned 55 and basically he’s depress about it.  “what happened to me?”, those were his exact words to me today.  We started to talk and he started to ask me questions on how I see life.  I told him that I wasn't a religious fruitcake, anymore, but to quote a famous song “I’d don’t believe is all for nothing, it’s not just written in the sand…”; I too had my wheelie neely’s on where I was and where I was going.  I told him that just yesterday I was made aware that I am going to be 45 soon and I made him realize that everybody’s going that way, that no one has ever gone over 12x years unless you believe the bible stuff where you had characters that would reach the age of 800 easily; but even then I told him that the Biblical age of those people was nothing compared to the Universe’s age of 13.7 billion years.  I tried to cheer him up as much as I could, but in a way the guy is right; and if I would have kept on speaking with him I would have been the one with all the existentialists’ angst…  And I don’t need that sh*t right now…

Take care folks!


PS Maybe I should have put a warning sign at the beginning for the bible belt folks.... oh well, "SURPRISE!"
