“It is so hard for us little human beings to accept this deal we get. It’s really crazy isn’t it? We get to live , then we have to die. What we put into every moment is all we have. You can drug yourself to death or you can smoke yourself to death or eat yourself to death, or you can do everything right and be healthy and then get hit by a car. Life is so great, such a neat thing, and yet all during it we have to face death, which can make you go nuts and depressed. It’s such an act of optimism to get up every day and get through a day and enjoy it and laugh and do all that without thinking about death. What spirit human beings have! It is a pretty cheesy deal- all the pleasures of life, and then death. I think some people can’t take the deal- that is why they drink themselves silly or hide away or become afraid of everything.” -Gilda Radner
