Do you by any chance read the Wall Street Journal? Yesterday in the Lifestyles section, there was an article about Simon of Simon and Garfunkel fame. It was about his latest album, which at age 82, he is questioning life and death and all the big questions. I am 80 years old and I’m going through the same process. I’ll be happy to send you the article. I guess my point is that when you reach a certain age, and you find death looming before you, it really is the ultimate question! It is the big question! And maybe it’s only when we die that we get the answer. There is something else besides this existence of ours here on earth or there isn’t! At any rate, I respectfully have to disagree with Spinoza, because it is such a big question, a momentous question. Always enjoy your essays, thank you.
