I had the opportunity to see George perform once a few years ago, and I’m glad I did. While he was brash and insulting to some, beneath the profanity and attitude were some thoughts that were quite profound. He was funny, and he was not afraid to share his philosophy on life. Seeing him so late in life brought out a lot of material related to death and the sad condition of humanity. The following quote is one such idea that makes you wonder why life isn’t that way instead.

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 live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating… and you finish off as an orgasm. —George Carlin
