After Thought

"Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions not insufficient hypotheses."
— Samuel Butler

"A man has died
His body is
Crumbled to dust:
But, words
Cause him to exist
In the mouths
Of men."
— Egyptian paraphrase

Sticky places provide traction; therefore, in difficulties there exist opportunities, or, setbacks become advantages, etc.

The bosses have all the aces — it's a good thing that there are still a few jokers left in the deck to keep the game honest. Although it must be remembered that too many jokers can spoil the game.

With too much to dust you become slave to your servants.

I wrote it, but the only importance it has is what it may say to you.

On retirement:
More and more I wear my wristwatch less and less; or, how time lies.

"What is that which is not eternal?"
— Emanuel Swedenborg, Divine Providence, Paragraph 59.

Reading Swedenborg = afterlife assurance.

  1. insufficient hypotheses leading to conclusions sufficient enough for this non-watch-wearer:

    That thing you put on your wrist is a watch
    It's called a watch because you watch it
    Watching time pass is not the same as experiencing that which is eternal
    therefore: watch-wearing prolongs attachment to unreality
