Before and after

My view of life is that we're nothing before we're born and return to nothing after we pass away. We're just a blip on the universe radar screen and very tiny and short one at that. Nothing before, nothing after.

We can delude ourselves in thinking that we're better than that and worth keeping, a bit like the piles of junk we faithfully keep in our garage, attics, files cabinets and personal memories, but we're just passing by, so my word of advice for the day is to be extremely careful with our daily use of the tiny, minute, yet invaluable portion of that instantaneous “blip!”
