“On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.” - Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club.
True, isn't it? If that is the case then why live that uninteresting half-dead pseudo monk-ish life? What's the use?
Why inhale just oxygen (which is polluted anyways)?
Why follow the vegetarian lifestyle?
For a healthier life?
For a longer life??
Now think about it this way - It isn't going to make you immortal. Instead, its going to make your stale pale life even longer. The older you grow the more morbid it becomes. And finally when you reach your death-bed you realize that you have not done anything at all in your entire life other than earning money and spending it on "buying things you don't need to impress people you don't like."
Right now is the time you need to wake up from your coma. Start tearing out grass from that dew covered field in the morning. Smoke some (other kind of) grass in the nights. Get stoned. Get drunk. Enjoy the different kinds of meat available to man, taste the different kinds of wine. Stop being angry all the time. Shed that attitude. Forget about the conference room. Start thinking about the smoke filled music room instead. The intoxication, the trance will make you realize that you are alive. In short, live life to the fullest.
Sounds hedonistic? Not quite. Read on...
'Practical' is the right expression here. I am just being practical here and showing you the reason why you should come out of that puny self-protective shell of yours which will break anyways, eventually. Start doing it now and embrace death as a happy old man OR -- just die as a sad, self-withered 'very' old man. The choice is yours...
