How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Maybe

"And I went upstairs to the balcony and I sat down and you know the movie was a film I'd seen many times in my life since I was a kid and I always loved it, and you know I'm watching these people up on the screen and I started getting hooked on the film, you know? And I started to feel, how can you even think of killing yourself, I mean isn't it so stupid? I mean look at all the people up there on the screen, you know, they're real funny, and what if the worst is true. What if there is no god and you only go around once and that's it. You know, don't you want to be part of the experience? You know, hell, it's not all a drag. And I'm thinking to myself, jeez I should stop ruining my life searching for answers I'm never going to get and enjoy it while it lasts. And after who knows, I mean you know maybe there really is something, nobody really knows. I know maybe is a very slim reed to hang your whole life on, but that's the best we have. And then I started to sit back and I actually began to enjoy myself."
