“Keep in mind how fast things pass by and are gone - those that are now, and those to come.
Existence flows past us like a river: the 'what' is in constant flux, the 'why' has a thousand variations.
Nothing is stable, not even what's right here.
The infinity of past and future gapes before us - a chasm whose depths we cannot see.
So it would take an idiot to feel self - importance or distress.
Or any indignation, either.
As if the things that irritate us lasted"
