It’s indeed a tenuous thread between life and death Jan, I’m reminded every day when I observe the world news, cheers David

I’m guessing Arthur, your in the same proverbial sinking ship as a few billion others at any given moment, small comfort I know, cheers David

I was born and died without taking a single breath of life in between them. David, you've written a wonderful and deep monoku. This dark sort of philosophy is difficult to portray, and you've done an excellent job. I wish you the best of luck since we are all born without any desire on our part, and we shall all die in the same manner.

Thank you for those kind words Lasaad, dark philosophy is perhaps just one side of reality, I write these not to bring others down, just to remind myself how tenuous and bleak life is everyday for billions of people around this world, cheers David
