Glum with Gloom

All things end

All things pass

No one lives forever,  all phenomena are temporary, transitory, ephemeral 

Thoughts arise, and dissipate

Diamonds aren’t forever

Impermanence 

Like bubbles (pop)

Time itself lasts until the end of time

Death swings his scythe

Death,  thou shalt die

Nothing matters, all is pointless, sadness

Or, LIVE!  Your one life to live.  Seize the day. You Only Live Once. Carpe diem.  Seize the fish. Seedy cd.  carpe diem, compact disc, certificate of deposit, see the devil, seeing eye dog

The Mass is ended, go forth to love and serve the lord

This revery on mortality is gone, over, done.  Finished.  Finito.  

The End

Sad, Indifferent, or Verve?

Benign Indifference of The Universe:

    "It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.  To feel it so like myself, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.  For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to be hoped was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators, and that they should greet me with howls of execration." 

       

                                               - Albert Camus, The Stranger
