Food Diary: Eat To Live Forever?


They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.
- Oscar Wilde, Ireland

Do you believe in forever?

What if Lennon was right and we don't have to imagine there is no religion? Does that mean there is no forever? What is it and why do we want it?

If you have something you want so badly, why do you want it to last forever? Why does "death do us apart" seem so sad? Why do we seek an assurance that somehow, through religion or otherwise, that we can possess what we have now, in the beyond?

I already have my forever, now.

I don't care if it is not "perfect". I only want what is perfect for us, and what we can call "ours" and "mine".

In that, we already have forever.
