There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. Jun 16, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness. Jun 16, 2024 - Fabian Biese>

Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years.

It's much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody. Jun 16, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
You'll forget it when you're dead, and so will I. When I'm dead, I'm going to forget everything–and I advise you to do the same. Jun 16, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Holding this soft, small living creature in my lap this way, though, and seeing how it slept with complete trust in me, I felt a warm rush in my chest. I put my hand on the cat's chest and felt his heart beating. The pulse was faint and fast, but his heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small body with all the restless earnestness of my own. Jun 16, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
