In The Famous Words of Shakespeare’s Puck -
“What Fools These Mortals Be!”
Puck is one of the world's greatest philosophers, I think. He is one of my favorite characters anyway. All of life speaks to something much greater than ourselves. We are only "big" in our own eyes because of our egos. We are a seed, not unlike the zygote we started out as in our mother's belly. We grow in the confined space til it is time to exit into another kind of living. I think death is like that. We exit this world for another kind of existence. Just my brief thoughts on this. Great questions and observations here Tom. Hugs, J
