"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends, I mean life is tough, it takes up alot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What the fuck is that? A bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first and get it out of the way. Then live in an old age home. You get kicked out when your too young. You get a gold watch, you go to work for forty years until your young enough to enjoy retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play and you have no reponsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating around -- and you finish off as an orgasm."

Nice quote!

I remember a funny quote by George Carlin:
"In comic strips, the person on the left always speaks first."
but i don't know what's his problem with the life and the death,
Philosophy is a preparation for death. Socrates
It is against this ultimate reality that our flesh rebels.
Maybe birth is death, and death is birth, who knows?
interesting excerpt.. but don't you think if we flip it upside down everyone would say "holy crap! look what we get? a degenerate sperm cell?! that's unfair". i donno but it's probably between the metabolism & reproduction. if we you rid of those instincts, then you can explore death...
Cheers
@Syriangavroche: Best Wishes from Damascus :)
@dr.lo.st: I adore this guy, he always speaks my heart. Carlin used life, death, religions, systems in a brilliant way... somehow like black comedy.
@Anathema: "Philosophy is a preparation for death"... brilliant!
@Anonymous: and maybe death is just a new birth to a wider world and another dimention. we know nothing about now, just like when we were in our mommy's wombs knowing nothing about this world... who knows? ;)
@Mustafa: actually I like it this way, the system we have, birth and death when you are older, but Carlin theory is interesting and witty..I think we need those instincts to explore death.
cheers ;)
