Am I though?

"Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough."

So says William Saroyan who according to the omniscient internet, was an American author whose stories celebrated optimism in the middle of trials and difficulties of the Depression-era. He said other stuff too - http://www.williamsaroyan.org/quotes.html

I had planned on commenting on what he said, but I can't be bothered to make the effort. I can't help thinking that William would have been proud of me...
