[Quote by Terrence McKenna (Psychedelic Salon, ep. 202 pt2

"Death is the bouquet of life, you should live toward death"
I would say the bouquet of life is this moment
But to the more important point of longevity:
I certainly am not interested in living forever, whatever that might mean
Because I suspect if you live forever, you miss the point
In other words, I think you miss the bouquet

I am attracted by the idea of living as long as I want to live;
I wonder how long that would be
And of course if you make people comfortable
Probably they would like to live a lot longer;
What reason is there for a person to check out of a comfortable situation?
In a sense, what nature does is makes the body a less and less comfortable place to be
Until finally you just say
"alright, already!" you know?
