The purpose of life

To outlive your enemies and die before your friends, so that you have a well attended funereal.

What good is a well attended funeral? It’s not like you’re going to notice.

I think it’s closer to “Life is pain, highness.” – The Princess Bride

Suffer for a while together, take care of each other, and maybe we can see each other at the big party after the show. In the end, it’s all who you know, and in the long run nothing done here is going to matter at all, yet strangely it is everything while you’re here. There is suprising beauty in this place that contrasts stunningly against the bitter evil that is here. Enjoy what you find in the little things, and enjoy things more when you can share them with someone else. As I think about it, I was wrong; life isn’t pain - life is people.

To feel, in the moment before you die, that you deserved to live.

Dammit someone beat me to it!

To have joy.
