A very wise preacher (who was also a very good scientist) once comment to

his students:

" Divine Providence must have a sense of humor. "

His students wondered, and asked, " Teacher, why sayest thou this? "

He looked at them gravely, " Consider this: besides holding the salt shaker

whilest you are abed and eating celery, what other use is there for the

umbilicus? "

The more we can relax and laugh at ourselves, the easier it is for us to

tolerate the faults of others.

A shame? No, not at all.

When we write, what we write is an expression of our thought. But what

starts off as a pure thought gets degraded; it loses something when we put

it into words. It then loses even more meaning once it is read, as those

words are then entirely at the mercy of the reader. When you put it out on a

public forum, your words are also at the mercy of anyone who may or may not

comment on them, whether on that same forum or otherwise.

But where this imperfect system of communication often breeds

misunderstanding, it also gives joy. When someone truly and honestly

understands you, and you " connect with " them, you consider it special. You

would be unable to experience that joy if a thousand other people had not

misunderstood you.

But these are all just my thoughts, which are themselves imperfect.

From what I hear of the state of his liver during his life, I think

it's more likely he was a frequent flier.
