Description

"Look at a single dot in the pattern," said Tuxedo Kat while he lay upon Mt. Couch, pointing at the pattern in the fabric. "That tiny, little spot is your lifetime. Look at it compared to rest of the dots on the couch. This one cushion alone is over 10,000 years," he said.

"What does that have to do with the hairball on the floor?" I asked.

He ignored my question. "Now, compare the couch to the size of the house. See how small it is in comparison? Compare the house to the size of the city, the city to the size of the state, the state compared to the whole world, the world compared the vastness of our solar system, where the sun is 93 million miles from the earth."

"How about the size of the hairball?"

He continued, "If you take an ephemeral view, supposing there is no life after death, then ultimately, nothing matters because from the moment of your inevitable death you will never experience anything ever again for all eternity. Look how small that dot is. Or, if you have an eternal perspective, believing life continues after death, then while all the rest of eternity may hinge on the kind of person you become in this life, such trivial things as hairballs just aren't important in the eternal scheme of things. Either way, it's not worth getting upset over."

"So, it doesn't matter whether I feed you your dinner or not?"

"Whoa, let's not get crazy now."

And you thought it was just a cute cat pic. =P
