Barring accident, we live 1, maybe 2 centuries? Considering the cosmic span of time, our greatest achievements are just a twitch of the universe’s eye.  And while some may feel trapped/depressed by this futility, I find it intensely liberating:  I have however long I’m allotted to make the grandest, strangest experiment of my life.  Why not?  By the time [Higher Power] blinks, I’m gone.

    We have one lifetime to make a difference, as RSGullett said, and a very short time to hand what we’ve learned off to the next generation.

  3. We all have the potential to become the best that we can be, however we define that best. Anything less is a waste of good oxygen. 🙂
