Put these on a forum, I like them, I want to keep them, here they are.

On death

I can’t imagine dying will be particularly pleasant but I think death will be just like before I was born - no use being sad about a scenario in which you won’t exist. And if there is an afterlife then I would like to believe that a presumably benevolent deity would judge me for my actions and not my religious belief. Death motivates me to spend my life wisely - live every day in a manner that is rewarding and good. When death happens it happens. There’s nothing more to say on the subject really.

On jealousy

Well it depends on what I experience jealousy over. If it is something material and/or shallow, such as money or sycophants, then I laugh at how much of a tosser I’m being and get on with my life. Just because I want it doesn’t mean I will ever enjoy it. If I long for the affection of someone or romance then I simply tell myself that it will happen when it happens. I am a hopeless romantic falling in love with every girl I meet eyes with so I experience longing very often, and it is fun to get the butterflies in your stomach and the awkward glances and the blushing and the wild fantasies of weddings in orange groves and large families sat around giant tables in a villa in France. I enjoy creating a dream world that involves this total stranger I know nothing about. If nothing comes of it then so be it - I just get on with my life. In some things my jealousy will lead me to being a bit too competitive, and in retrospect I will always acknowledge that I was a complete arsehole in those moments of bull-headed, macho wacho crap, but it happens so I just get on with my life.

So there’s my answer - I just get on with my life.
