“Observations” is a bunch of thoughts around live, death, existence and love.

FRAGMENTS:

“There are people who feel very attached to any fluid or particle that comes from themselves, because they see them like their children. Those people would prefer if nothing left them and everything stayed with them. The world would be a safer place, as someone might find your remains and begin to use them. “

“The problem with death is getting used to it. So a bit of training seems like a good idea. You could start, for example, by devoting a few hours to it every month, when you act out your death. If you practice and practice, you’re sure to get better at it. Your body will get used to being dead little by little, like when you go down slowly into the swimming pool. That way you don’t start shivering. And then your family can try out living without you, and run trials on strategies to find the least painful one.”
