[Quote by Terrence McKenna (Psychedelic Salon, ep. 202 pt2

1:06:06 - 1:08:20)]

"Death is the bouquet of life, you should live toward death"

I would say the bouquet of life is this moment

But to the more important point of longevity:

I certainly am not interested in living forever, whatever that might mean

Because I suspect if you live forever, you miss the point

In other words, I think you miss the bouquet

I am attracted by the idea of living as long as I want to live;

I wonder how long that would be

And of course if you make people comfortable

Probably they would like to live a lot longer;

What reason is there for a person to check out of a comfortable situation?

In a sense, what nature does is makes the body a less and less comfortable place to be

Until finally you just say

"alright, already!" you know?
