Life is the most misunderstood joke in the universe. So very few see the punchline.
And it gets better! Even those who for an instant witness the joke - and the pure joy behind it - most likely forget what we have seen within hours. It's that well protected. We are seemingly designed not long to be able to avoid taking seriously this ride we're on.
But I promise, there's no need. Life is here, and then it will be gone. The details are unimportant. The shape of the thing (Here then Gone) is the same for all. Everything in the middle is entirely open to interpretation. If we look at it with a serious eye, we will suffer. But that interpretation - looking at it with a serious eye - is a choice. Very rarely do we meet people who are capable of demonstrating to us the other choice: enjoy this maelstrom of experience, all of it.
It's not about changing anything. All the same insanity will continue that has continued for thousands of years. Our times are not uniquely insane, not even close. They just are a new form of precisely the same crazy our ancestors dealt with. To repeat - our ancestors were here, and now they are gone.
Nothing to worry about.
Enjoy it while we have the chance. There is exactly no reason not to. Ever.
But talk to me in a couple of hours... :)
