A View on Life

There is a part in Comedian showing a conversation between Orny Adams and Jerry Seinfield that's worth sharing. At least, I think it is. What do you think?

Orny: It’s just like you’re getting to a point like how much longer can I take it?
Jerry: What? Is time running out? You had a time?
Orny: I’m getting older.
Jerry: Please.
Orny: I’m getting older. It’s not… Listen. I’m 29. I feel like I’ve sacrificed so much of my life. The last 20 years…
Jerry: You’ve got something else you’d rather been doing? Another appointment? Another locations you gotta be?
Orny: Not necessarily.
Jerry: No, not necessarily.
Orny: I saw my friends are making a lot of money on Wall Street. I’ve seen like… you know…
Jerry: What?
Orny: I just see that like, my friends are…you know, they’re moving up. And I don’t, I’m worried that…
Jerry: They’re moving up?
Orny: They’re moving up!
Jerry: Are you out of your mind?
Orny: No, I’m not out of my mind. I just aa…
Jerry: This has nothing to do with… your friends.
Orny: I’ve upset you. I’ve upset you… (could be something else that Orny was saying, I couldn't make it out)
Jerry: No. No. This is a special thing. This has nothing to do with ‘making it’, or…
Orny: Did you ever stop and compare your life and go, OK I’m 29. My friends are all married. They all have kids. They all have houses. They have some sort a sense of formality.
Jerry: Ugh… let me tell you a story…
Orny: What do you tell your parents? What do you, you know, how do you deal with that?
Jerry: What do you tell your parents?
Orny: Yeah, how do you… ?
Jerry: This is you… (holding his own forehead, laughing, smacking the table) (Pause.) Your parents? (Pause) Let me story about uh, this is my favorite story about show business.

LA Orchestra. They were doing some gig somewhere. They can’t land where they’re supposed to land because it’s winter, snowy night. So they have to land like in this field, and walk to the gate. And they’re dressed in their suites. They’re ready to play. They’re carrying their instruments. So they’re walking through the snow. And it's wet. And it’s slushy. And in a distance, they see this little house. And there’s light on the inside. There’s a pole of smoke coming out of the chimney. They come up to the house. And they look in the window and in the window they see this, this family. There’s a guy and his wife. She’s beautiful. Two kids. They’re all sitting around the table and they’re smiling, they’re laughing, and they’re eating. There’s fire in the fireplace. These guys are standing there in their suites, and they’re wet and they’re shivering. They’re holding their instruments. They were watching this incredible northern closeout. One guy turns to the other guy and goes, “How do people live like that?” (Pause and smile) That’s what it’s about! That's what it's about (in slower tone).
