My dear,

There’s evidence that life began trillions of years ago.

There’s evidence that life changed a trillion times to become what life is today.

There’s evidence that some people’s lives are cut short every day.

There’s evidence that some people’s lives are saved, made longer, every day.

And there’s a ton of evidence that death comes after life.

Yet…

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

So relax.

Falsely yours,
Brendan Gill
