after reading Doctor Faustus in my British Lit class at mc, my professor went over some themes found in the work. among those covered were the futility and imminence of life, man's need for something better than what he has, and the risk of seeking the unreachable (along with several allusions to Icarus and Daedalus). however, my professor never referred to the much iterated Matthew 16: 26, which i found interesting. that lead to my personal study into the matter, and eventually into this sketch.

That's deep.
And what a tradeoff ...
I am interested in reading this book now. Bring it when you come for Christmas, okay?
The tradeoff makes me think of all the trade-offs we make all the time, consciously or unconsciously. We must weigh these decisions more closely.
