Brevity

I've been thinking that life is short. Let's just say the earth is 4.6 billion years old. That means my years, if I live to be 100, will make up 0.00000217 percent of the years the earth has been in existence. I'm a flash in the pan. It's no wonder scholars used to set a skull on their workspace and artists used to illustrate them into their works. That's where we're all headed (my deepest apologies for the pathetic pun). One day you're here and moving. The next you're not.

So why not do something meaningful? I gotta tell ya, there's a lot that I do that is not very meaningful. Putting so much time and energy into how I appear to others just doesn't make a lot sense with the aforementioned perspective.
