But isn't everything a waste of time, if you stop to think about it? In the end, all of our accomplishments, memories, regrets, and relationships will be reduced to null. Everyone from the poor to the rich to the kind hearted to the greedy will all end up as nothing but dust. It is only natural to feel a sense of longing and heartache as a result of any action we take in life. Every moment we live, we are losing what could have been. Every choice we make is a rejection of another. But we can also embrace this concept. Proceed forward with the knowledge that nothing will ever satisfy our endless desire to live life to its fullest. Any moment that is even mildly satisfying is a gift, even if the source is something novel and temporary. If you enjoyed it, then it was time well spent.
