Summary

This quote by Allan Rufus uses the metaphor of a sandwich to describe life. The beginning of life is depicted as one slice, while the end represents death. What determines the overall quality of life is what we fill it with, symbolized by the ingredients between the slices. It challenges us to reflect upon the choices, experiences, and actions we add to our lives, which will ultimately determine if our journey is fulfilling and enjoyable (tasty) or negative and unfulfilling (sour). Ultimately, it reminds us that we have the power to shape the course of our lives.

All the same, we ought to point out that if the kinds of poetry and representation which are designed merely to give pleasure can come up with a rational argument for their inclusion in a well-governed community, we'd be delighted -- short of compromising the truth as we see it, which wouldn't be right -- to bring them back from exile: after all, we know from our own experience all about their spell. I mean haven't ever fallen under the spell of poetry, Glaucon, especially when the spectacle is provided by Homer?

There was a time in L.A. when I drove to 7-Eleven to go grocery shopping, and I locked my keys in my car, which wasn't insured. My wallet was in there, and I couldn't call AAA, because I only had $7 in my bank account. It was one of those moments where I was like, 'O.K., I literally have nothing right now.'
