Long live the falling pears and turtles!!! Yes, we might as well embrace death, right? We’re all on the assembly line for it. And why not? This makes life truly worth living. Personally I go to Camus for this topic most often, specifically The Myth of Sisyphus. A great line from Nabokov comes to mind from Speak, Memory: ‘Life is but a brief crack of light between two abysses.’
