Irony of Life

Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? 
It will take ages for the head to go first. 

By the time a man is sixty years of age, he is called out of [the world]. The whole of life is one delusion, and just when you begin to see things the way they are, you are snatched off. 
So long as the stomach went first you were all right. 
When children's dreams begin to vanish and you begin to look at things the way they are, the head goes.
