Steambath: Que Tal?




Life imitates art or perhaps velvet paintings and art one students who can't fathom the vanishing point that overrides of our lives.
I am fascinated by all things theological, illogical and philosophical and stories of lives lost that seemed to be functioning well moments before exiting the planet like Sylvester the cat stage right or left.
A 1970 off Broadway play Steambath-click the link- cast Bill Bixby in the starring role and basically he is recently dead guy the Steambath a sort of Limbo before the Catholics cancelled it holding tank and god was the Puerto Rican attendant who looked down to earth and heartlessly and impulsively decided who he wanted whacked and under what ridiculous circumstances it should occur before the body/spirit ascended to that great Spanish speaking steam bath in the sky.
Last Saturday a 20 year old Supermodel with “Fairytale good looks” back away from that pie Jack Horner Ruslana Korshunova from Kazakh did a suicide swan dive from her ninth floor apartment in the downtown financial district of New York.
I kept thinking “she must have discovered a photo of her grandmother” which ain’t funny but I can’t help it none of us can.
And then at Six Flags or Fags whatever the name of the amusement park some teenager scaled two six foot fences with signs “keep out morons” because he lost his hat on a roller coaster ride. The convergence of events led to the boy's decapitation and my question “was he wearing his hat?”
You see none of us can help who we are or how we think. So stay happy and don’t take chances like my grandmother always said, ”when in doubt don’t do it. Just don’t! “

Freddog,

She simply chose death over life. Don't try to make it any more complicated than that. There are few choices in life that are as simple because there's no "gray" area.

Life vs. death. Sadly, the beauty made a bad choice, because death offers the opportunity to be infinitely more painful than life.

How do you see it - that when life stinks, death is a plausible improvement? Flying is also better than walking down ten flights of stairs - until you hit the pavement at 100 mph.

Seeking common sense in senseless death is never time well invested. In the words of Mother Teresa regarding the depravity of legal abortion, "If we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we expect others not to kill each other (or themselves)?

Just think, only a few more weeks until football.

Cheers,

The Messenger
