"Don't Forget to Breathe"

Imagine forgetting to breathe. Imagine such basic, essential knowledge escaping you. What would you do? Assuming that you even KNOW where the closest assisted-breathing device is, how would you get to it in time to save yourself? You wouldn't have the strength to ask someone to give their breath to you. Even if they did, it would fail to keep you alive for any amount of time and you would, inevitably, die.

Human memory constantly makes errors. Perhaps not frequently of such magnitude, but it's undeniable that such lapses occur. Is it such an impossible proposition that one of the infinite, complex functions of the human brain will fail at its most daunting task and, as a result of its shortcoming, the spark that associates "breath" with "life" will defuse, causing the ultimate slip of the tongue?

Now consider that, at any given moment, your brain is occupied in said infinite functions, meaning that, at any and every point and time, this rather silly form of demise is entirely possible.

Thus, I leave you with this most practical tip in the difficult journey that is life: "Don't forget to breathe".
