Seeing dawn from the right side, that’s living correctly. I was always filled with pleasure by going to sleep when other people are getting ready to go to work.
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.
