For those of us that have forgotten!
Enjoy a visit to the phenomenal world!
Have a human experience- the most fascinating of all experiences.
Now you, too, can experience carnal love, unjustified rage, gad faith. You, too, can know boredom, ennui, angst, accidie (apathy).
Thrill to the experience of your "life" slowly draining away! Feel the inevitable "death," which you "know" to be a plunge into pure "nothingness."
Live a life of contradictions! Have a wife and lust for other women; possess them and never know satisfaction.
Have children- and feel anxiety, love, hate.
Learn how to be concerned about possessions! Worry about your job; identify yourself with what you own.
Feel cowardice!
Derange your senses with drugs!
Live the waking sleep of mortality, lit with uneasy flashes of "something else."
Experience the poignance of wanting a "better life," and striving for it, and never achieving it.
Be swayed by external and internal stimuli. Be a passive receptor who is acted upon by forces beyond your control.
Have convictions, beliefs, likes and dislikes- for no reason!
Feel the intoxication of faith! Thrill to the passion of religion! Apply Now!
No Angels under the age of 20,000 years will be allowed into the phenomenal world without written permission from God.
~ Robert Sheckley
