Sure, Cobalt:
I see exactly what you are talking about. Exactly.
But, and here is an ominous note, we all eventually die.
Woody Allen (Alan, Allan, Alen) is cited for: "I do not fear dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens."
If I procrastinate by not 'walking', I will cause myself to shrivel. This debilitation will be unacceptable. Yet, it is there, threatening me.
If I 'walk', I may not shrivel that noticeably. What are the odds for a magnificent 'died in his sleep', or had a sudden stroke?
How long can a "high bottom" be maintained before reaching a "low bottom"? In this particular mortal circumstance.
I know that certain actions, or lack of actions, can bring me towards the "low bottom". But, I question, What if I keep myself at the "High Bottom" as long as I can? Will I be able to die in a whisk?
I am virtually a hermit. I also have no dread, at all, of dying. It is a given.
Is there any way to avoid the process of literally rotting?
Now, this sounds like sick shit, but I believe it is sort of a pragmatic consideration.
Can you imagine yourself living within an enfeebled shell, and still making the forces continue?
This note is a Wow note. I have no idea how YOU brought me to this level of in-your-face reality.
Sorry about the above,
