grave matters ....

I wonder how many aspects of life are like this ... arousing a panorama of reactions, beliefs, philosophies, etc. and yet those heart-felt reactions have precisely nothing to do with the aspects themselves.

Smart or dumb, everyone is born. Smart or dumb, everyone dies. Isn't that enough ... or perhaps too much?

I see nothing wrong with telling stories, but calling them something other than "stories" is another matter.
