Time is the hourglass that sits between life and death.  While we live we should do so with reverence to ourselves, the Earth and every living entity.  Living is a privilege we should not take lightly.  We should remember that death is always waiting.  It is just a matter of time.  If knowing that we would die doesn’t make of us a more empathetic being then we would have squandered the most important asset at our disposal: time.
