A Philosophic Qveshtion

A Philosophic Qveshtion

Rene Descartes said, "I think therefore I am",

a line that has since become philosophic Spam.

I know a healthy eighty-ish lady who is far from a wretch

whose survival  motto is," I think, therefore I kvetch"--

If Descartes had also had a Jewish Mother

would he  have survived for another

two decades or even more,

instead of dying young  at 54?
