“I have come to this bittersweet realization about my choices in life as well. Life doesn’t care. No one gets a participation award from life. If I die tomorrow, I will be gone, a few will weep my passing, and then the waters will close over me and my presence will be mostly forgotten by all the others desperately trying to live their own lives. Life doesn’t concern itself with whether I live or die. The universe, on the other hand, has a great interest in me while I live. The universe listens.”
