I know I sound a trifle boring. Talking about life and all that’s beyond. Oops, I almost typed it as Beyonce. No, no…she’s the last thing on my mind now. I am thinking about Buchwald even now. Did he live a good life? I guess he did. Did he have fun at work and in life? I guess he did. But did he make sense of life? I wonder if he did. I was reading his last column and I came away with this feeling that Buchwald did not quite make sense of his life.
Did he, for instance, think life’s all about humouring others and making a living thereby? Did he think about the beyond that lies ahead? I don’t know. Perhaps, he did. But how many of us ever think about what lies beyond life? If you haven’t yet, I urge you to think about it today. Otherwise, you may have to at some point say like Buchwald did before he went ‘What’s it all about Alfie?’
