A Great Way To Avoid Living

One of the worst tricks of the mind,

that we have played on ourselves,

is the calculation of the average human lifespan;

and,

then making everyone very aware

of when their clock is supposed to stop ticking.

It gives us the illusion

that we either have more time,

or,

that we are getting closer to our clock breaking.

And some seem to think

they are due the time they ‘deserve’,

while others

believe they have enough time

to achieve everything they want to.

Denying that we are going to die someday,

is a great way

to avoid living.
