Excellent post. It's very interesting and readable, and it's all told in a clear and colloquial voice.

I particularly like where you wrote "the bullshit of life slips away." As I was reading this post, I had a similar (unstated) thought, such that this post is about life / death, whereas so much other material that we read is ultimately inconsequential.

Each day, we might read (or compose) various posts about the economy or about some cultural tidbit or even something educational. And they all serve their purpose.

But, at the end of the day, it's often good to forget the "bullshit" and good to consider how all the nonsense fits into the grand scheme of things. Posts like this do that for us.

Peace.
