To describe this post I have one word: It is powerful.
But this aphorism, that "Man is given a definite number of experiences—economizing them, he prolongs his life.” ... I think the opposite is true. On the contrary, in my opinion, the more feelings, experiences and emotions we experience, the deeper and more our life. Time is ruthless. So why should we be sad about this? We must live here and now, in this moment. And if you want to enjoy the view, then who dares you to ban. Just stop and watch. See as much time as your eyes require.
But perhaps it is more fruitful to go deeper into fewer experiences than to, in a shallow way, experience many more?
I think that for each person there is an answer to this question. We're all different, and that's great. So someone wants to go in depth, not in vain wasting. And someone else catches every moment of life, as a traveler water in the desert. All this is perfectly subjective. And I think that these opposites of views have their own charm.
We all choose our way, we go different ways. Isn't that great? But in the end, whatever path you choose, the winner will always be Time. It will compare us all at the end of the road.
I like your response. Thank goodness we are all different and have different perspectives.
