Life Goes On

I am often amazed how life goes on, and how the aggregate experience of humanity balances out, at such a cost. Someone is born, someone else dies. Someone falls in love, someone else has their heart broken. Someone is diagnosed with terminal cancer, someone else orders a pizza. The seriousness juxtaposed against the mundane. We may all be connected at some higher level, but down here on earth, we are patently, if not decidedly, disconnected, else we would probably be dysfunctional. Imagine someone lying on their deathbed listening to the hospital staff laugh about their favorite sitcom. This is okay. This is how life goes on.
