In order to maintain peace of mind (and a healthy heart), man has to avoid excitement in life (or so the doctors say). If I had to choose between peace of mind and excitement, I wouldn’t deliberate at all.
After a night of heavy drinking, I always get a memory black hole, not being able to remember parts of the previous evening. It’s too bad that the courts don’t accept this excuse.
If I were born in the US, I’d probably go to ivy-league college, I’d be a quarterback on a local football team, marry my high-school sweetheart, get a house, two cars, 2.5 kids, etc. It wouldn’t be such a bad life, after all.
Waking up after a night of heavy drinking, I have a feeling that my body is dispersed over a great surface, and my organs are slowly starting to come together and form myself again. I was always disappointed by the end result of that process.
Regardless of the fact that I’m spitting on the US left and right, I still think that the main things in the development of human civilization will happen here. Why do you think I’m still here? “After-the-fact” wisdom is always justifying.
Those who know me, understand me. Those who understand me, like me. Those who don’t understand me should get to know me better. Those who don’t know me, don’t like me. Those who don’t like me, don’t understand me. What a conundrum!
If we were born into this World by accident, how come I couldn’t be born rich, so I don’t have to suffer throughout my life? Hence I don’t play any lottery games, considering that Fortune is not on my side, by design. I’m getting old and superstitious.
