One does choose life, I suppose.
Not with much enthusiasm, but even so...The contents of consciousness are generally depressing, but the fact of consciousness without those contents, or even the feel of consciousness on its own, is like a miracle, and is one of the things I take Jesus to have meant when he said words to the effect that the Kingdom of Heaven is spread out before men but they do not see it.
So I suppose the way I see it, Lou, is that we should (try to) choose life, yes, but maybe death is a friend too.
Just not a very nice one, and the sort that does you in.
