Single Thought #7
When I think about all the things about myself that have changed, I think the most significant is that I no longer fantasize about living forever. I don't want or need eternity. Let me have 80 years, and let them be filled with family and friendship. Let me have just one blink of the eye; a cosmic wink with a smirk and I'll be satisfied.

I think living forever would desensitize you to the best parts of living, period.
I guess I've become more fatalistic. But it just doesn't seem as scary as it once did.
It still scares me.
Life is pleasant, death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
