Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume: the hellish cycle is complete.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know of any other form of life that gathers up all the food it needs in the first two-thirds of its life in order to do nothing in its last third of life. In a utopian presentist society, instead of working extra hard to put money in the bank, you'd be working to provide value for the people around you.
My world view is that it can all go to hell in an instant, and you have to be ready for it. That's pretty much the central theme running through my work. It's about people's awareness of how uncertain life can be and their trying to guard against that.
When it comes to literal nourishment, the food we eat, life begets life.
Life is a full meal.
When I am done with this meal you can have my life. It is heaven.
Look I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated.
The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
A worker's paradise is a consumer's hell.
A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.
