[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 205495, member: 14641"] I started thinking of death at a young age, it fascinated me, I found myself at every junction in my life that was stressful, thinking of death, the big sleep, these thoughts started around age 11, by the time I was in my early twenties, I had managed to find a book written by someone with a similar take, thus the fascination with Herman Hesse started, and I read Steppenwolf again, and again, and again. The book, validated my death theory, that if you are already dead, then nothing can hurt you, and nothing can affect you, sure there is a price to be paid, very little excites you or pleases you, certainly the things that most people take for granted as a way of happiness or contentment certainly pass you by, a nice car, nice clothes, to look smart, to talk and act in a way that brings you respect, to be respected, none of these I could actually see the point in. I did not want people to respect me, but I did want them to remember me, not as a fool, or a clown, although that is mostly for what people do remember me, but as someone that touched them, that helped, that made some sort of difference. Why? for no other reason that a man who does not fear death, that a man that does not invite love, is a man that has something to offer, and I offer to anyone what I have. Am I satisfied? on the whole, yes, the thought of going on holiday brings me out in a cold sweat, ideally, my day begins in my shop, around 6.30, reading this forum, munching a pasty and listening to 80's pop. Soon, I will get up and start getting the day ready for my good friend who also works with me, Chris, Chris, for his own reasons also does not fear death, says very little, and can do the work of 3 normal people in a day. We turn the music up, he sticks his headphones on (hates my music), and we work, hard, fast, installing windows, repairing laptops, building laptops, packing, cleaning, checking, soon there are a dozen machines all whirring away with us both singing to ourselves and one by one, they are finished, cleaned and tested and put away, until they are all gone. People come in and out, they all laugh at the antics of the clown, made funnier by presence of Chris the straight man, by the time the last machine has been cleaned and put away, it is time to finish, Chris goes home, I stay on, and sit down and fall asleep for an hour or so, wake up, and then keep going till bedtime.
