Here's something that went through one man's head:
"You can either eat or defecate;
you can either sleep or get up;
you can either be cold or hot;
and you can either read what someone else has thought
or think of something for yourself."
"Hmmm," he continued,
"I wonder what the connection is?..."

Oh, by the way, the correct response to his pondering is available only to those
who understand that suicide cannot be accomplished by aiming your gun at someone else.

...Oh, yeah, this too:
If you ever realize the validity of that, then you've got to reverse it and discover its equal veracity.

(No rest for the weary, huh? "Hey, if I wanted to be weary, I'd rest!"
Is this why the gods -- and lamps -- have no eyelids?)

The reason men are not more conscious is that they keep shifting
what they own from one hand to the other.

Oh yeah, and this too:
Anything that claims to definitely tell you why man is this way or that
is definitive bullshit.

Question:
Have you ever noticed that thoughts are more fun if you pay attention to them?
(Sorry -- guess that was a pretty childish question for the intellectual likes of you people.
Sorry.)

Business grew brisk for a nontraditional florist who produced artificial funeral flowers,
as the awareness of artificial death expanded among the populace.

Note:
There are two difference types of artificial death.
The type unknowingly and mechanically experienced by the ordinary,
and the type that is exactly the opposite of all that,
that is struggled for by the few.
