Look around.
People are rushing everywhere.
Rushing through traffic.
Rushing to get their kids to bed.
Rushing through work to get to the weekend.
No time to talk. No time to sit. There is too much to do.
There is somewhere to go, the faster the better.
Death is not some distant thing in the future,
not some one-time thing that looms ahead.
Instead, death is something happening to you right now.
It’s happening as you read this dumb blog,
it’s happening as you procrastinate that task on your to-do list,
and it’s happening still more as you sit down to that coffee were looking forward to.
You’ll never get to live what has been lived again.
So why are you rushing?
Why are you thinking about the future at the expense of the present?
