As people I love continue to leave this earth, I can’t help but think about the fragility and shortness of life. Rich or poor, the only commodity of real value is time. But time is not just about quantity. Spending the precious time we have on things that matter defines a life well-lived.
“Death is not a tragedy to the one who dies; to have wasted the life before death, that is the tragedy.” - Orson Scott Card (b. 1951)
“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.” - Marcus Aurelius (121 - 180)
“The idea is to die young as late as possible.” - Ashley Montagu (1905 - 1999)
