life in 80 pages
Damn, nothing’s original. Rent already said it, but whatever, here’s my version.
Just got BusinessWeek in the mail today (first issue in a one-year subscription), and it got me thinking. What if life wasn’t measured in years or decades, but in.. magazines?
BusinessWeek comes once a week, which would mean I get 52 of them per year. By the time I read 52 issues, one year of my life has gone by. When I think about it that way, life seems short!
If I live to 70, then I have 54 years left, meaning there are 2808 more issues in this story known as my “life”. I can probably read 2808 relatively (compared to 54 years) fast.. It just serves to show how short life is, and that the important thing is.. what is it?
