life, summarized

Sitting on the bus this morning, reading a book.

Looked up to see a woman and a man sitting next to one another, two rows before me.

The woman had a newspaper. The man had a magazine.

The woman was reading the obituaries.

The man was reading about how to invest more money for the future.

Thought it was amusing -- the advice on how to attain more wealth right up against a reminder of our mortality.
