The brevity of life

Recently a friend was texting me about how quickly the time was passing. It made me think of the brevity of life. On my tombstone (I think I will actually be cremated because of the high cost of funerals) there will be two dates. One is the date of birth and the other is the date of death. In between those two dates is a dash. That dash represents my life lived.

I agree ! As you age time seems to go by faster…

Yes time is indeed flying by. It is like a mad rush to the end.
In our culture, we do not have tombstones. So perhaps the name and dates will appear on an entry on Geni.com if anyone cares to update the family tree I laboriously created. 😀

@therighttothink50 Hm...I'll have to think about this one

But joys all want eternity— "Want deep profound eternity!"

(Nietzsche)

Maybe time does not simply fly by? Maybe time and eternity are in some sense "one". Eternity as the deeper dimension of time?

"The only extension to the present is intensity"

@SW-User Wow, that is deeply profound!
I believe and hope in eternity.
