Catch-22 Part 2

"The soldier in white was constructed entirely of gauze, plaster and a thermometer. "
Yossarian met the soldier in white when he was in the hospital. The man in white couldn't move, speak, and was fed through a tube. Was that living? Yossarian, in my opinion has a twisted view of what life is. If you live life afraid that at any moment you might drop dead from one of the million things we could die from including:
 "There were tumors of the brain. There was Hodgkin’s disease, leukemia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. There were fertile red meadows of epithelial tissue to catch and coddle a cancer cell. There were diseases of the skin, diseases of the bone, diseases of the lung, diseases of the stomach, diseases of the heart, blood and arteries. There were diseases of the head, diseases of the neck, diseases of the chest, diseases of the intestines, diseases of the crotch. There even were diseases of the feet. There were billions of conscientious body cells oxidating away day and night like dumb animals at their complicated job of keeping him alive and healthy, and every one was a potential traitor and foe. There were so many diseases that it took a truly diseased mind to even think about them as often as he and Hungry Joe did"
You only get to live once so why live afraid you might die when everyone must die eventually. instead enjoy the good moments you do have like the sun warming your back or tasting something new for the very first time. if we worry we might die all the time we will miss those moments that make up life.  Yossarian flee's to the hospital when he can't handle life in the war as if he can flee from living life itself. He can't each time he ends up right back in the field. War is nasty but even through difficult times we shouldn't run from our problems we must push through them and see the ways we can support each other in the trials of life.
