On death

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/blueoystercult/dontfearthereaper.html

 

Something you never see. A hearse with a luggage rack
Something you never hear. A dying person saying, gee, I should have worked more overtime.

 

I might wish that. Not overtime in particular, just regular time. For the first 20 years of my career I was often lazy in my working life. I did the minimum possible to get by. Took many breaks between jobs. Except a period when i wanted to buy a house, for those couple years i really worked hard.

I regret doing that now. Was only hurting myself in the long run, although at the time it felt good. Means i have to work harder in the second half of my life now.

 

You, me and the rest of the world may regret these things from time to time while alive, active and healthy. When all that is ending our bullshit job won't even be a passing thought.

 

The best years of our lives to enjoy LIFE, is when we are young. Work overtime when you are 80 ;o)

 

This Catholic Boy's eulogies are to die for according to his friends.

 

From the ". . . But Somebody's Got To Do It" Dept.

 

The problem is, your body might not be able to work overtime at 80

 

I'm not afraid of dying. I'm just very annoyed. I'm angry that I can't know when death will happen. But I'm furious that I won't live forever.
