WHY DO THINGS DIE?


I just found out I'm going to die. Not only that, but I found out that everything is going to die, someday, even things that aren't born yet. But me going is the worst of it by far. I mean... how's the world supposed to exist if I'm not always watching it? I'll probably take all you guys with me! Don't worry too much though, it's not like it's gonna happen tomorrow or the next day or anything like that, but in three days or more it could happen at any time, so be careful about making any long-term plans. But I still don't really get it. WHY am I going to die someday?

It's like machines - why do they break? Companies design them to work, not to break. And it's not like they have minds of their own so they can decide to change their instructions. Why don't they just keep working unless someone turns them off?

I asked Tiny Moo Moo if I could live forever if I dug a hole in the ground and put a big tarp in it, to keep snakes and worms out, and then covered it with an unobtanium dome with a machine gun attached to it. The dome would rotate so I could blow anybody away who tried to get me. And the snakes and worms couldn't get me because of the tarp. Oh yeah, I already said that. I would also have an infinite supply of food and soda in the hole so that I would never have to come out.

But he said I would get old and at some point I would still die, even though no one could get in and kill me. I would just stop working, like an old machine. I guess I just don't understand the whole thing yet. Maybe Sheep knows more about this stuff.

It's a long time off plus if you worry you'll die sooner. So it's simple: Don't worry. Just enjoy each pasturized day.

Don't worry I said. BTW, how about a new post?

Good idea. I'll think of something that nysterious and yet enigmamatic later on today.

Thanks for reading! You're the only one who does now that I've blocked TMM! Oh wait, I think sheep might read this too.

Or not.

I was thinking about it. I don't think stuff really dies. It just goes into another land.
