Flee the Boredom that Ambushes You

"IT IS A CRIME to kill--the--curiosity--in--yourself--
What--does--it--take--to--make--a--decision? ONE MINUTE!
It--takes--A LIFETIME--of--regret--for--not--having--made it!
Are you dead? NO? Then--you--must--LIVE!
Get--this--clear--in--your--head!"


"PUT/YOUR/LEGS/TO/YOUR/NECK [that is, run]--and--flee--the
boredom--that--ambushes--you!"
