Because seeing Marilyn Monroe naked along with the rest of the country makes for a life well-lived? I think you know the answer... and I think that’s what he’s babbling about.
When you've seen how quickly and arbitrarily death comes in battle, sure? Why not?
Exactly. Once you see Marilyn Monroe naked, now all of a sudden Betty your high school sweetheart don’t look like such a catch anymore. If you marry her at all, a few years down the road she’s getting chunky and wrinkly, and you leave and go find another Marilyn with a nice rack and no brain. Until she annoys you or figures she can do better.
You want a life well-lived? Marry a good woman. Love your wife not because of her proportions but because of her SOUL. Raise good kids, watch THEM raise good kids and then you can ease on out embraced in an ocean of love and admiration from people who will actually miss you.
