Mortality, part 4

Pills, , : Many nights, as I trudge into the bathroom to take my pills, I become annoyed. I pitch a fit. I get grumpy. I ask (no one in particular) why I have to keep taking pills every night.

I really make quite a scene sometimes.

Julianna is patient with me. She understands better than I do.

I was talking about this with my friend, , a couple of weeks ago and she said something interesting that kind of put it all in perspective…

I was complaining, “I just hate the fact that I am going to have to take pills for the rest of my life.”

In turn, Katy responded, “Yeah, but if taking pills means that you’ll have a ‘rest of your life’...”

That makes sense. Still, why do I have this ongoing, internal struggle everytime I see my pill box?

I think I know why…

Each night, when it comes time to take my pills, I am reminded that I am mortal. I am reminded that my was real and that I am living a temporary life. You see, it’s easy to recognize a temporary life — we all know that we won’t live forever — but it’s quite another thing to be confronted with it every night of your life.

Wow! Quite an impressive story you wrote here. Yeah, it’s quite uncomfortable to face real life facts this way, I agree. Your friend Katy is right, as far as I’m concerned. Maybe some day you’ll get used to taking those pills…
