Life Is Short (2016)

4 hours ago

Life's shortness is realized through the finite, discrete moments with loved ones, such as limited weekends with a child or Christmases experienced together.
Recognizing life's brevity gives force to the idea that 'life is too short for' trivial or negative experiences, pushing one to eliminate 'bullshit'—fake, unrewarding activities like unnecessary meetings, disputes, or addictive pastimes.
Bullshit enters life through being forced by circumstances (like work errands) or by trickery (like online arguments), and while some is unavoidable, one can minimize it by choosing employers, customers, or habits that prioritize authenticity.
To combat life's shortness, actively seek meaningful activities (like spending time with friends or family), cultivate impatience for important goals, savor time, and prune bullshit relentlessly to avoid regrets.
