Love and Cigarettes
“I wonder why people smoke? Isn’t it taste bad? I mean the smoke smells real bad I could imagine it taste bad”
He answers “it’s the same reason as why people fall in love. It gives you a temporary sensation. In a little time it hyped you up, give you a boost in confident. It energized you. But by time it all falls down. It kills your organ one by one. First your lungs. You would feel like you can’t breathe it tears you up. Later its your heart. It would hurts so bad until it stop beating”.
“and so why. Why people smoke? And why people fall in love?”
“because life is short. Either they smoke or they fall in love, or not doing both, they would die anyway. So why don’t they fulfill their curiousness by doing the two?”
“and bringing death a few miles closer? Is that what you mean?”
“yes, you might say so”
“how about you? You still smoke and fall in love don’t you?”
“yes”
“even when you know you would end up dying, and in pain?”
He paused for a few second.
And then he answers “that’s what I’ve been asking to myself this whole time”
