    I also thought of Kafka right away

      Banji, then you, too, are a total genius. How do you people REMEMBER those books you read? Am I the only one who forgets?

    Wow. This is like straight out of Kafka's "The Castle".

    Good on you Darrin! 🙂

      Suburban, you are a TOTAL genius. I don't even remember the TITLES of the books I read in college, let alone the sayings within their pages. Wow. 🙂

      You really, really need to read, or better yet, see, Tom Stoppard's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead", which is one of my all-time favorite plays.

      Heck, everyone who enjoys this strip should.

    Life has been described as being given two suitcases. One is open, and we know about what we will face in life in general. We will get old and die. The other suitcase is specific and is closed. We don't know what will specifically happen from day to day, as in floods, earthquakes, deaths of loved ones, ill health, etc. It is said our job is to make it survive life and thrive to the best of our abilities. Humans are brain "hard-wired" to keep on keeping on in whatever situation which occurs. It is amazing to me that some homeless people have more courage and philosophical insight than the rich who live in mansions. I met a man while on a walk and spoke with him about his puppy. He seemed intelligent, articulate and very inwardly happy and hopeful. I didn't even know he was homeless until he told me he was staying at a homeless shelter and someone gave him the puppy for companionship. My whole heart swelled as I listened. I think that I received the best education that day, as I learned more than I ever did at either of the two Universities which I attended.

    Speaking as a fan of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, nice call-out there.

    Good lord, I just looked, the play will be 45 years old in a few months.
