MESSAGE #481 - RANDY PAUSCH


When death comes,
it's just like winter.
We don't say,
“There ought not to be winter.”
That the winter season,
when the leaves fall
and the snow comes,
is some kind of defeat,
something which we
should hold out against.
No.
Winter is part of the
natural course of events.
No winter, no summer.
No cold, no heat.

Alan Watts (1915 to 1973)
Philosopher
