Wow. This was. . . incredibly interesting. I love the sarcasm - it's light enough to not be grating, or biting and yet strong enough to let us know what she really thinks. Her concluding sentences were really sharp, and to the point - I like that. I definitely agree with her claim - everything ends in death. Regardless of how you live your life, you are going to die. Life is just one event after another - however, she challenges us, "Now try How and Why." The story itself was a unique way of presenting this age old question - who are we? why are we on earth? do the things we do here really matter after death?
So many people claim to have the answers to these questions - and of course, they all think that they have the right answers. There are also those who just refuse to think about it, and go on not seriously taking into consideration that, one day, everything will be gone (or rather, they will be gone from everything). Is life truly what the waiter in "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" stated - "nada y nada y nada. . ."? Or is there something more to it than that?
Have you yourself ever thought about your life, and its meaning - or about death?
You should.
