We are going to Die
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are
never going to die because they are never going to be born. The
potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in
fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.
Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats,
scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible
people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual
people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our
ordinariness, that are here.

Rules for the Cat
The cat is not allowed on the furniture.
Alright, the cat can go on the furniture, but NOT on the kitchen counter.
OK, the cat can go on the kitchen counter too, just not when I'm preparing food. Deal?
Fine... The cat can go wherever it wants, whenever it wants, as long as it doesn't swat me in the face at 5:30 in the morning demanding food.
The cat will be fed at 5:30 in the morning.

I took a Taxi Today
I took a taxi today, and the driver told me: "I love my job, I own this car, I've got my own business, I'm my own boss, no one tells me what to do."
I said: "Turn left here."
I said: "Turn left here."
