Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 06, 2025

Ironically, a lot of people do their “not living” in the living room.

Amen, Wise A$$.

The WA is spot on this time!

If he means not living as in enjoying life, he’s right!

Not living? Hey, it’s a living for most folks.

Death is certain. Enjoy being alive.

There are only two kinds of people staying on this beach: Those that are dead and those that are going to die . Get off your butts ! You are the fighting 29th !

Dying is the next great adventure

Dying IS the worst thing to happen to someone who doesn’t know and love Jesus !!!!

The ancients thought philosophy would teach you not to fear death. The Epicureans were sure of it, “Someone threatens you with death? That’s nothing to fear. It is the end of all pain and suffering.” Epictetus was disappointed with some of his followers, “Those d@mn Christians don’t fear death, c’mon guys you got to be smarter than them.”

(In the first few centuries CE Christianity was regarded as a school of philosophy. It considered itself the best, and other kinds considered it the worst.)

This one resonates.

This is really rather good.

I hear a song. Sounds like “Always look on the bright side of life”.

How incredibly odd.A “Christian” comic strip endorsing the philosophy that you should ACTUALLY enjoy your life INSTEAD of “sacrificing” every single joy that you can, just so you can “re-coup” those joys later in the afterlife.Cool!!!!Dan aka….ps thanks, Mr. Stephan Pastis!!!!!

Dying ain’t much of a living….
