My belief about acting in one foot on a banana peel and the other one in the grave.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My next book's title is going to be, 'I Have One Foot in the Grave and Another on a Banana Peel.'
In a banana republic, one might slip on a banana peel but things do work - now and then for the people, albeit inefficiently and unreliably.
Indeed it is possible to stand with one foot on the inevitable 'banana peel' of life with both eyes peering into the Great Beyond, and still be happy, comfortable, and serene - if we will even so much as smile.
When you slip on a banana peel, people laugh at you; but when you tell people you slipped on a banana peel, it's your laugh. So you become the hero rather than the victim of the joke.
Today I would say, 'I am against plastic surgery.' It's a grave act. An act that touches our soul. It was frightening.
We usually say of ancient persons, that they have already one foot in the grave, and the rest of their life is nothing else but the bringing of these feet together.
I myself, however wretched I may be, have been occasionally privileged to sit at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and to the extent that his merciful love allowed, have embraced with all my heart, now one, now the other, of these feet.
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave.
I really wanted to be on Six Feet Under as a corpse. That would be hysterical.
Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.
