" "Stop trying to make me feel better. I want to feel bad now and I want to embrace my entire sad human dimension"

"As long as you also accept it, we might actually get somewhere. Think of some of the nice things you have done together."

"No, that will make me sadder."

"Didn't you say you wanted to embrace your sad human dimension?"

"Yes, but not like that. I want to be philosophical and cool about it. You know, like the Greek philosophers, like that cynical naked guy spending time in his barrel, Diogenes."

"Suit yourself. Maybe you can focus on the future instead of thinking of the past."

"How?"

"Let's have a baby and celebrate life"

"Well,...

When you say it, it just makes so much sense. I could take all my selfishness and transform it, make things matter, change things."
"I am guessing humanity doesn't look as sad now as it did before?"

"No, but I still hate death. Why did he have to go?"

"Because he was 89 years old, had lived a generous and happy life and it was time to go. He was ready to try something else and this is nothing we can change. We can, however, make our lives worthwhile. "
