Life , Death and Friendship.

Life is simple .All you have to do is figure out the most probable outcomes of various courses of conduct, and then pick the most attractive troublesome .only if you want certainity does it become difficult , because that you cannot have .Sometimes it amounts to deciding which of the things you don't want to you should go ahead with.For example , each day a man may have to decide whether he would rather have his testicles cut off or his brain washed.

What to do about death ?Finish everything and then wait for it like a rotting log ? Or leave things unfinished and die with regrets ? the art of living is to walk the earth like a prince , scattering apples wherever you go .
The art of dying is to finsih your own aple just at the right moment to say "I am content , the rest are for you to enjoy at my wake "

Often the next step in a relationship is friendship.The essence of friendship is that there is no active Parental ego state under ordinary conditions.That is , friends do not criticize each other in a Parent-to-Child way , although they may give each other advice.But this advice is not fingershaking , it is rational, factual statement.A friend does not say ,(parentally) , "smoking pot is awful , and only degenreate people do it.I'm only telling you that as a friend".A real friend says , instead "You know you van get a rap of upto 20 years for doing that openly .I'd miss you if you were away that long"

Friends "accept " each other ."Accept" is one of those words most people use wityhout defining clearly , like "Togetherness " "sharing" hostility" " dependency" and "passive".

If you ask them what they mean , they say , "You know what I mean "and get angry if you don't know .The reason they get angry is that they don't know what they mean and they rely on you to know.If you say you don't , you have left them stranded , and so they get angry.The only wat to be sure you understand an abstract noun is to draw a diagram or picture of what you mean.
You don't have to be sensible to have a friend, providing you both believe in the same nonsense.
A freind is basically a more solid form of companion.Friends may eat together , live together , talk together , have fun together , and go out together.But in addition they stay together for life and help each other in time of need.

To paraphrase Proust , a friend is one who has the same illusions you have , so he/she won't hurt your feelings he/she finds out you have them, too.

Parting Shot : Nothing interferes with friendship like sex , and nothing interferes with sex like friendship.
