Laziness is just another word for dying - some of us doing it more quickly than others. Ambition walks hand in hand with birth and death like a near mindless toddler being escorted by its parents. Suicide is being fostered out to oblivion. Happiness is simply grief disguised. Such sayings mean nothing. Nothing means something called death. Most of us are too lazy or too scared to care. Fear grows from a sub-conscious that even pre-dates birth itself; a sub-conscious we all share, whether we're ever alive or not. Again, at the end of the day, who cares? Nobody.
