People should be taught to make peace with reality. And not waste worry and money on futile attempts at postponement of the inevitable. Cheating the toll of time sells bottles of products, no question about that. God forbid people actually get excercise, lose weight, get proper sleep, eat right, stay away from drugs, etc.
"Each minute bursts in the burning room,
The great globe reels in the solar fire,
Spinning the trivial and unique away.
(How all things flash! How all things flare!)
What am I now that I was then?
May memory restore again and again
The smallest color of the smallest day:
Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn."
-Delmore Schwartz
That grabbed my attention. Who wrote that? Thanks.
