Because if God doesn't exist we are the creatures of highest consciousness in the universe. We alone understand the passage of time and the value of every minute of human life. And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of a single human life. Whether a man would have died tomorrow or the day after or eventually...it doesn't matter. Because if God doesn't exist, this life...every second of it...is all we have.Anne Rice "Interview with the Vampire"
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them. Seneca (BC 3-65 AD)
If you're planning for a year, plant a garden. If you're planning for a decade, plant trees. If you're planning for a lifetime, educate a child.
