About fourty years too soon...
On days like this one starts thinking about life, the universe and everything. About what is and what is not. About what matters and what doesn't. And you realise that pretty much nothing matters but a very few very precious "things": your family and your friends. The rest you can easily live without. Without them, you can't. And probably don't even want.
A very popular saying goes that you should live each day as if it were your last. Sorry, Marcus Aurelius, you got it all wrong. Last days usually suck. You should live each day as if it were your first!
Everyone should discover, observe, learn and love as you would on the first day! Well, maybe not on the very first day of your life but you know what I mean. Enjoy it while it lasts - one day it will all be over.
