the publican’s credo

1. No one should die for want of a kidney transplant.
2. No one needs two kidneys.
3. We must tax the surplus to redress the want.

Yeah, that`s right! When I was teen I thought my life and young body are eternal:) Now I`m almost 50 and happy every single day waiting for the next morning with hope it`ll come.

For as long as I remembered myself, I looked forward to dying. It seemed to me that anyone who likes travel and discovery should share this sentiment. I still feel the same way, but for different reasons. Dying just seems like the right thing to do, at the right time, like when you can afford it.

*right thing to do, at the right time, like when you can afford it*

No comments except for *when you can afford it*.
Seems to me, nobody can afford it if there`s a tiny chance to meet next morning. Right time to die is always an Indefinite Future Time.

Yes, I know, death is unavoidable thing, but your personal body life is so insignificant when you take yourself as the universe ruler(unruler). Unruling for me is the way of thinking when you consider yourself as the conscientious part of the universe and when you know/able to figure where it all comes to. Dying is just a small private fact of every body`s future, but the whole system is firm, steady and irresistible. And eternal.
Hope my opinion is not that funny:)

There are two possibilities here. If man is finite, an infinite universe will replicate him in the fullness of time. In fact, it will always already have done so infinitely many times. On the other hand, if man is infinite, death is not his end. In either case, as John Silber once put it, “When you’ve had a long life, and you’re ripe, it’s time to go.”
