Go Absurd 86 – Where Everyone Falls

  Quote of the Day “Many people are bored with life, irritated by the human condition, exhausted from suffering, tired of living. For those for whom life is too long, a longer life would be worse and, quite possibly, more absurd. For some, however, life seems too long because it's too short, meaning life is rendered so absurd by being short that even a short absurd life feels too long because it is pointless. A life made absurd because it is too short would be rendered less absurd if it were significantly longer.” (Rivka Weinberg) Sponsor’s Message No Money To Sponsor This Sh.. SHOW!

Quote of the Day “Illness is primarily a drama, and it should be possible to enjoy it as well as to suffer it.
