\"Post<\/a><\/p>\n

Having read many accounts of those who have had a near-death experience, they nearly all speak to the fact that we spend too much of our lives caring about the wrong things. That seems to be a universal regret, that we have been lulled into caring about the things that we cannot control and which consume our lives away until it is too late.<\/p>\n

Remember, it is always now!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s it all mean?<\/p>\n

I remember the early R. Crumb comics.\u00a0 The one character that intrigued me was Mr. Natural.\u00a0 Other characters would seek out, and follow him around and ask the same question over, and over; \u201cWhat does it all mean, Mr. Natural?\u201d.<\/p>\n

Of course, the joyous and inquisitive part of me came out and wanted to know just what R. Crumb could possibly come up with.\u00a0 The ultimate, strip response came back as \u201cIt don\u2019t mean shit\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That being the possible case, I\u2019m starting to really wonder if it’s time to start having dessert first, for real.\u00a0 Seriously, if I work out on a regular basis, avoid most other sugars, does it really make sense to stop experiencing one of the things that I couldn’t possibly regret.<\/p>\n

Ok, so I am trying to look for answers again.\u00a0 Being here on behalf of the universe, I feel some obligation to try to maximize the things that put a smile on my face.\u00a0 Love is the answer! \u00a0I love so many foods.\u00a0 But, when it\u2019s all done, there is just that gnawing feeling in some small secluded corner of my stomach that murmurs out softly; sweet, please!<\/p>\n

How, in the universal thinking, right mind, could I justify not succumbing to that urge.\u00a0 Doesn’t that fall under cruel and unusual punishment?\u00a0 Rules be damned. Chocolate comes from trees and therefore counts as a vegetable. \u00a0That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
