♫ And when I die and when I’m gone

There’ll be one child born

In this world, carry on, to carry on ♪

If that phrase is on a tombstone, then I’d rather be odd.

I don’t know, ask a vulture.

What are the odds ?

“Everything will come out OK in the end. If it’s not OK, it’s not the end.” I guess everything’s OK for this individual…

On stage, holding aloft an awarded iPhone before an audience: “And, lastly, for my infinite perseverance, self-control and fortitude, I’d like to thank the Internet trolls.”

“And in the end, The love you take, Is equal to the love you make”

Anyone ever look at and ponder the “Webb deep Space” telescope photos …“not images”,

But photos of Whats out there?…

Could make you “Think”….

If You Can “Think”……

“You know, you come from nothing, you’re going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing.”

“Always look on the bright side of life.”

What are the odds of it evening out…

That’s odd…

my end isn’t so even, in face increasingly wrinkly

The only true state of equality. Even though people make religions to believe inequality continues after death.

I remember an old story. A rich man dies and goes to Heaven and when he gets there he’s met with great rapture. He asks St. Peter if he’s being rewarded for how hard he worked to get to the top? No. His great war record? No. His children? No.

Turns out the important thing he did was give some kid a summer job and some old books from his basement. That kid went on the change the world.

Patience without the other six is only part of how we should strive to live.

What happens to us after we die? A lot! It just doesn’t pertain to us!

For.

Fitting parody from Voltaire “ All comes out even at the end of the day, and all comes out still more even when all the days are over.”

flip a coin, Bud. Whichever the result, it won’t matter either way when your time has passed.

I thought latrines were the great equalizer.

The cycle of all living things on earth is to be born, eat, drink, have offspring, eat, drink, die. The eat and drink is important because that is how the earth keeps its balance — by some species eating others and the dead decomposing to provide nutrients for others. It’s the cycle of life. Man is the only species that interrupts that cycle by changing the environment to suit just ourselves. We level forests, blast mountains, dig holes, drain swamps, dam rivers, dump contaminants, clear out any animals and plants we don’t like. We think of it as necessary for progress; we don’t think about what might be necessary for survival.

nobody knows what’s behind the door(death) the biggest unanswered mystery on our Planet.

Silly question, but does she have her hand in his jacket pocket?

“This is the end, my only friend, the end”

why does granny have on disco boots?

As the windshield melts, and my tears evaporate

Leaving only charcoal to defend

Finally, I understand the meaning of the few:

Ashes to diamonds. Foe and friend. We were all equal in the end

We come in with nothing and we go out with nothing.

Economist’s grave?

She stole Ron DeSantis’ boots?

Spend a lot of time in graveyards do you ? ;-)

Entropy.

No it doesn’t, life is unfair but also unfailing, it goes on and all we can do is make good decisions along the way.

Did you leave the world a better place for you having been here? Then it didn’t ALL even out: some of it got better!

Man is born, man lives, man dies

Final line from the 1975 Stanley Kubrick film “Barry Lyndon”:

“It was in the reign of George III (late 1700’s) that the aforesaid personages lived and quarreled; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor they are all equal now.”

Hope possibly……

“There’s one kind favor I’ll ask of you. Just see that my grave is kept clean.”

Current population really doesn’t need to worry. We’ll make it. A couple more after that. Then it gets progressively more difficult and somewhere between 500 and 1,000 years in the future, the experiment is over. Time for something else to give it a try. We as a species is not going to do what is necessary in the immediate future to prevent it. It’s pretty much too late to make a difference and we won’t, because it will be painful and inconvenient. Everyone is out for themselves and far too few consider the species as a group or single organism.

Fate is the all-equalizing force.

Yup, it pretty much all looks the same, before I flush.

Against. In the end you are not around to gloat.

“Few things bring as much pleasure, as burying an enemy.”

From “The Teachings of the Great Panda”

Okay, enough morbid thoughts, cheer up lads!

Two men are changing clothes in the golf course locker room. One fellow looks and sees that his friend is wearing woman’s panties.

“Uh Fred, how long have you been wearing … um… panties?”

“Ever since the wife found a pair in the glovebox.”

Well, i’m absolutely of one mind.

I have to agree with that.
