      In the Tibetan philosophy, Sylvia Plath sense of the word, we’re all dying. But you’re not dying the way X is dying.

      Reminds me of the South Park Christmas Album. Pretty topical too since today is Christmas in July.

      The minute we’re born we start dying

      We die a little more every day

      Young or old, rich or poor

      There’s nothing you can do to stop it

      So look long at that Christmas tree

      It may be the last one that you see

      Decorate your house with green and red

      Cause some day you’ll be dead

      That’s technically incorrect. The human body remains busy at all times. Either the body is to get busy livin’ or it is to get busy dyin’.
