Playing Field

On a Sunday in August
If the destination is forevermore, then the journey there requires a worldview where enjoyment is only one of many heavenly experiences. The hellish ones of course get worse & worse.
Don’t worry about tomorrow; who knows what will befall you today?
–Yiddish folk saying
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.
–Isaac Asimov
You’re at that age when everything Mother Nature gave you, Father Time is taking away.
–Milton Berle
“Leaden paralysis” is a psychiatric term.
If your thought patterns & attitudes, your very sense of self, could be altered by medication, there seems little room in the equation for the soul.
The Christian existentialist conclusion is that the soul is that which chooses.
Malfunctioning receptors may sap or boost your energy. Chemical fluctuations may create a racket in your head. But you can choose your words & actions.
Choose to reject the Voice of Doom.
