Curious Case of Life in Reverse



I'm not the kind of person who tweets quotes on a regular basis. Far from it! However, I just remembered a McGill Management notebook I used to have back in uni, and it had a whole bunch of really fun stuff. One of them was a quote by George Costanza from Sienfeld. I'm at a crossroad at this moment in my life, and it's just nifty to think about 'what if life was this way'.
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What’s that, a bonus?!?! I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back, spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm! Amen.”
 - George Costanza
