Application of intellect reveals how pointless our lives are:  We live for a short span and are confined to one world among billions.  But wisdom and maturity dictate that we try our absolute best, and enjoy every second of it.  Because if our time is fleeting, then why not?  Shallow dips into indulgence leave us thirsty and wanting, while those deep stretches of soulful effort yield a great, quenching richness.

  1. Yes, and as you age, and time becomes more fleeting, it becomes ever more precious. You can only do so much, so choose the best when you have a choice.

    Don’t underestimate shallow dips into indulgence. Woody Allen addressed that issue in “Love and Death.” His cousin, played by Diane Keaton, objects to his sexual advances. “Sex without love is just an empty experience,” she says. Allen replies, “But as empty experiences go, it’s one of the best.”

  3. But your tincture of self is timeless and nests often so why worry about one nest and one and one tree.
