Oh, what a relief.

I’m for plugging away. Living life. Without worrying about running out of time. That’s when I feel best. Most confident. Keep going. Never stopping. Until the day I drop dead. But practicing what one preaches – well, that’s another thing. I fret too much. About my inability to live forever. Knowing that I’m gonna die. Sooner or later. Though I often tell myself, ‘So what?’ Maybe oblivion is the best option. Easy come. Easy go. Just as well. That I revert back to where I came from. To nothingness. I’ll no longer know that I ever lived. Yes, I’ll have nothing to worry about. Oh, what a relief. --Jim Broede
