Good morning, friends.

17 February 2025

I read that a rich and famous person died today. I'm still here. Which one of us is better off? While we are all destined to die in the end, it's hard to say because nobody truly knows what happens after death. There is a lot of speculation on the subject. The most logical explanation, which is the least accepted, is that our biological functions cease, and that's that. The most widely accepted explanation, based on Christianity—the largest world religion—suggests that we go to a spiritual realm or heaven. Oh gee, it must be Monday. I can't believe I just wrote this.

"When you're dead, you're dead. That's it." - Marlene Dietrich

"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see." - Helen Keller
