Re: Not prog but read it anyway.

Yes it does enlighten things and puts life in a perspective, but it doesn't tell us what happened to the poor sod who only saw a blank wall and now had no one's imagination to help him. Experience would tell me he died soon after as there is no " they lived happily ever after" ending in reality. For me it puts Camel's song For Today in the same light......

Perhaps he made a full recovery...got out of his bed and walked again, went home to his family, saw the fields, heard the birds song and enjoyed the rest of his life.

You say he died soon after and that there is no "happy ever after" in reality. I say we make our own "happy ending". Look at the recently deceased Jane Tomlinson. She was diagnosed as terminal. Made something extra of her life and raised millions for cancer sufferers. Her family were proud of her, people admired her.

Your glass is definitely half empty. I like to think of mine as half full. An old cliché but one that stands up every time.

To cite George Carlin, maybe the glass is just too damn big...
