"People are strange. We're all morticians. Hey, what's on TV?"

This quote by Ric Ocasek is a reflection on the human condition. He is recommending that individuals are odd and that we are all, in a sense, "morticians" of our own lives. We are all in charge of our very own actions and decisions, and ultimately, our very own fate. He is also suggesting that life is commonly mundane and also uneventful, which we commonly look to television to pass the time. This quote is a pointer that life is short and that we need to maximize it. We should strive to make meaningful links with others and to maximize our time on this planet. Life is as well brief to invest it watching tv.
