“I don't think the present time exists. I mean, if I am wanking to porn, am I looking at it or hearing it? I ask this because the light travels way faster than the sound meaning it's not really happening simultaneously. The same applies to the fact that the stimulation on my genitals must be transformed into impulses that travel to my brain making me feel the stimulation. It takes time for consciousness to process the reality. Therefore, there is always a delay before now and our awareness of now. With this being said, which part of us interacts with the present time?”

“Who is the best actor ever?”
“Ah… Antony Hopkins?”
“Wrong!” Seymour roared. “It’s death. Nothing can out act death acting life. Pretending there is nothing but the current moment and the breath we are taking. Death has persuaded itself it is alive and even made her fear itself,” Seymour explained. “And it did that because it was bored. Bored with peace. Life is merely a disturbance in death, which built a stage to act something fun. And that fun has turned into a loaded gun that will fire.”
Emanuel was nodding. Johnny wondered if the poor guy had any idea what Seymour was talking about. He looked so lost. Yet a man intending to take his own life should look
exactly like that.”
