After some reflection, I'm convinced that the most essential thing in life is to focus on life. According to this article, a typical U.S. person has a life expectancy of 936 months, and some people will live less or more than those projected months. If we were to drop everything and rethink from first principles, the most important thing would be about what to do during those few months: how we want to wake up, what to do in our mornings, what work and hobbies to pursue, how to interact with others, who to be in our routine and so on. If our schools have a course on planning our life from A to Z, you can imagine how much it would do to the state of humanity. We would have less people on Earth who are living like a zombie—precisely because they have learned to focus early on the essentials. submitted by /u/miaumee [link] [comments]
