Dydych chi ddim yn gallu mynd ag ef gyda chi ~ You can't take it with you


“E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! This is an ex-parrot!”
― John Cleese , (The Dead Parrot Sketch', John Cleese, Graham Chapman)

Roeddwn i'n meddwl bydd diwrnod pan rydw i'n mor gyfoethog ag Elon Musk - ond fydd e ddim yn digwydd tan rydyn ni wedi mynd i ymuno'r côr anweledig (fel dwedodd 'Monty Python') ac yna bydden ni i gyd yn gyfartal.

Es i am dro heddiw a welais i'r cyfosodiad bendigedig hwn o arwyddion: 'Aesthetic Doctor' a 'Funeral Directors' (nid anghofio 'Nigels's Barbershop')

Mae pawb yn gwybod (ond dydyn ni ddim yn siarad amdani) rydyn ni'n mynd i farw (ond gobeithio ddim yn fuan). A tra'r gallen ni fod yn poeni am ein 'aesthetics', byddwn yn bendant bod yn ymweld y lle arall.

Mae Bwdhaeth yn eithaf creulon am farwolaeth. Bydd hi bendant yn digwydd (felly mae rhaid i ni ei wyneb), hefyd, mae'n digwydd yr holl amser i ni, bob eiliad. Fi, pump oed - nid gyda ni bellach. Fi, pum deg pump oed - nid gyda ni bellach. Fi, a ddechreuodd ysgrifennu hwn pum munud yn ôl - nid gyda ni bellach, Rydyn ni'n bob amser yn dweud 'ffarwel' i ein hunain. (Ond doeddwn i ddim yn meddwl byddwn y Trefnwyr Angladd yn ddiddordeb yn y busnes hwn.)

Mae llawer o feddylion wedi'u tanio gan ddau arwydd. Rhywbeth i feddwl amdano wrth ymweld â Siop Barbwr Nigel, rydw i'n meddwl.

I was thinking there will be a day when I'm as rich as Elon Musk - but it won't happen until we've gone to join the choir invisible (as 'Monty Python' said) and then we would all be equal.

I went for a walk today and saw this wonderful juxtaposition of signs: 'Aesthetic Doctor' and 'Funeral Directors' (not forgetting 'Nigels's Barbershop')

Everyone knows (but we don't talk about it) that we are going to die (but hopefully not soon). And while we might be worried about our 'aesthetics', we will definitely be visiting the other place.

Buddhism is quite brutal about death. It will definitely happen (so we have to face it), also, it happens to us all the time, every second. Me, aged five - no longer with us. Me, aged fifty-five - no longer with us. Me , who started writing this five minutes ago - not with us anymore, We are always saying 'farewell' to ourselves. (But I don’t  think the Funeral Directors would be interested in this business.)

Many thoughts have been sparked by two signs. Something to think about when visiting Nigel's Barbershop, I think.
