The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months sleeping completely protected from everything bad in the world, and you are in the safest place in the world.
A friend of mine just put this idea into my head and I started wondering that it does seem an attractive idea. So much so that the fact that I have this huge thing I need to finish for tomorrow has to wait for some minutes while I jot down my brainwaves before they vanish into the ether. As I was saying (since I don't have time to wander into irrelevancy today) this does seem a great way to live life where things always get better, as opposed to the present paradigm of life which just seem to get worse (as in we always waiting to get to the next thing, and we do get excited once we get there, but the excitement is short-lived and all that is left is a lot more worries). I so want to elaborate on this point but don't have the time.
Just think about it, and that would serve my purpose.

TWO essential problems with this approach -
1. How the fuck are you supposed to start your life if you begin with dying ? Dying is the end of everything unless you invert the meaning of birth & death.
2. If you keep progressing down, going from working to grad school to grade school, indicates you keep getting dumber and losing all your senses and capabilities that you are actually born with( provided dying is actually getting born ). So essentially you are downgrading from the self you were born with and hence your life does get worser instead of getting better, as you presumed it to be!!

When u r about to die: from old age home, work, post grad school, grad school, high school, junior school

"The most unfair thing about the life is the way it ends. I mean life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus?!?. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!!Amen" - George Costanza
