When I die, what difference will it make whether or not I have read this book or that, seen this sight or not? It won't matter to me, and it won't matter to those who will (hopefully) remember me. What's the use of getting all stressed out over what I haven't done? I'll never do everything that there is to do anyway (and I'll do a great many things that I'd rather not have done, but I guess that's a different story altogether). Much better to concentrate on doing what I do right, and to enjoy myself while doing it. I am NOT walking through life checking things on a to-do list.
So there.  |
