<< People say "life is short". Really? What can you do that's longer? >>
"To believe that "life is short" is to rob oneself!
"Now" is MUCH longer, is in fact infinite.
And is eternal.
It's a joke, son.
Plant a tree, raise a child, start a company, touch a heart, save a life, create an idea are all things that are longer than a life.
Even if one restricts it to this mortal coil.
