(Today I think I'm a modern man, and that is not good.)
“Modern man thinks he loses something - time
when he does not do things quickly.
Yet he does not know what to do with the time he gains
except kill it.”
- Erich Fromm
Why do we kill the thing we are afraid of losing?

Here lies, extinguished in his prime,
a victim of modernity:
but yesterday he hadn't time---
and now he has eternity.
-Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996)
When he has eternity, only does he realize how important are those things he hadn't time for.
- Ghostwise
