“I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end.”
― Simone de Beauvoir
Poor Simone was wrong about many things, but this one took the cake. It reminds me of the account of the rich fool in Luke 12:18-20:
Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
Simone lived to be 78 and has been dead for forty years. She was an existentialist philosopher among many other things. Too bad she didn’t take the Word of God seriously.
Give it some thought.
