Crossing Over

[sdi]

I very much dislike the body I inhabit, but I was mulling this over today and it occurred to me: does anyone ever care how well a raft works? No, it is a ramshackle device built for a temporary purpose; and once one has crossed over the river, it is either taken apart or discarded. So it is with us, and if our bodies barely work or cause us great pain, what does it matter? They only have to hold together until their purpose is fulfilled.
