A Letter to Momo

Hot and Cold, pt. 1

Being too warm or too cold, beyond the edge of comfort, is the closest experience of death I’ve had at my age. During high school, I recall forsaking my love of Winter because of the pretentiousness of thinking that way. Naturally people can love Winter when they are in a warm home looking out at it. The truth is I do love Winter, the quiet, cold death. For me, it’s sort of akin to oncoming headlights in the opposite lane – moth syndrome – and if I’m not careful, I might find myself merging into it. It’s an odd, seemingly subconscious desire, to put this body through something; maybe a way of trying to grasp control of this sensory prison.

The man sitting in the chair before the reception desk asked him how he liked being here as opposed to there.

"It's largely all the same," he replied. "Living around, I've come to realize people are the same everywhere. They're all jerks doing whatever gets them ahead."

The man commented on how interesting he was in the context of an office.

"Truth be told," he said, "I'm not actually here right now."
He stood up and gestured gracefully with both arms extended.
 "I'm afraid none of this is real. I'm sorry, there's nothing for you to see here."

Application for Extension

You can't take it with you, or can you?
The wealthy have the means to purchase life extensions, and it makes sense to do so given that money can't be used once deceased.
When considering the afterlife, there seems to be one conclusion for those who can afford life-saving medical care. On the one hand, if there is no afterlife, then this life should be extended as long as possible since this is it. If there is an afterlife in the form of rebirth, one may end up back here in much more dire straits, in which case life should be extended while in a good position. Because energy can't vanish from the system, reincarnation seems the likely afterlife, if there is one.
