Knowingly taking placebo pills eases pain, study finds. (1)

A 600-years old tree finally died. (2)

What can one say about a death? What can one do when he is ill?

Try not to think of anything. Try to take things as they are.

You see? Not too difficult.

You do NOT see that oak tree.

You do NOT care about whether the pills were placebo.

You ARE feeling better.

Like a small crab caring only for things happening within a 10-inch radius. Like a butterfly caring only for how it will spend it’s only day in this cosmos. Like a kid laughing at his father while everything around them are falling apart.

It’s feeling weird isn’t it?

It feels like…

Life.
