you win, you lose

194 Länder - Mark Foster

by the time anyone sees this, years will have passed.
i'll make this as simple as i can: what's wrong with death, sir?
what are we so mortally afraid of?
why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity, dignity and decency,
and god forbid, even humour?
death is not the enemy, gentlemen.
if we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all,
indifference.
we're all dying, sir.
our job is to increase health. you know what that means?
that means improving the quality of life, not just delaying death.
now you ask me if i've ever practiced medicine.
if that means opening the door to those in need, those in pain
caring for them, listening to them, applying a cold cloth until a fever breaks,
if this is practising medicine, if this is treating a patient, then i am guilty as charged, sir.
every human being has an impact on another.
that is why when you treat a disease: you win, you lose.
you treat a person, i guarantee you: you win no matter what the outcome.
the latin term for sentiment is "carpe diem". seize the day!
gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
why does the writer use these lines?
because we're food for worms, lads. because believe it or not, each and everyone in this room,
is one day, going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die.
the world is their oyster.
they believe, they're destined for great things, just like many of you.
their eyes are full of hope, just like you.
did they wait until it was too late to make something out of their lives?
did they wait until they achieved even more than what they thought they were capable?
i know you hate your job.
i know you don't have many friends.
i know you sometimes feel a little uncoordinated and not as wonderful as everybody else.
i know you're feeling as alone and as separate as you are.
but i think you're the greatest thing since spice racks.
it's the universe at it's essence. every element has its place in that order. you can't change that.
you see what i mean?
you've got to be crazy. it's too late to be sane. because you're only given a little spark of madness.
if you lose that, you're nothing.
how kind is it to give life, only to take it away again?
what's true in our minds is true, whether some people know it or not. just keep going.
find that thhing you love because it's tough work.
i think if you can find the thing that really gives you joy, that'll be it.
that's why i had to come out here now. to tell you, i'm giving up.
just not the way you think.
sometimes you win, and when you win, you lose.
