From “The
Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
17 December
In the end,
when the bloom of youth has faded, when your cheeks and ear-lobes and belly are
sagging, when your thighs have turned to cottage cheese and you’re having
trouble remembering what day of the week it is, stay cool like you always have,
and trust the process. Your work is coming to an end here - you will have left
behind a host of people capable of meeting their distinctive challenges because
they paid close attention as you met yours. And when it’s time to die, just
leave your body where it happens to be at that moment - and move on to The Next
Thing.
